Dharma Civilization Foundation will facilitate the creation of a variety of “Named” gift opportunities. These Named Gifts can be established in the name of a parent, a loved one, a family name, a Guru, a Deity or a Teacher or a Professor. Depending on the level, named gift opportunities will either exist for a time, or in perpetuity. The following are a collection of naming opportunities available through DCF.
