Donate Online
We accept secure electronic donations via credit card, debit card, bank draft, Venmo, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay thanks to our partners at GiveLively and Stripe.
Please consider making donations using your bank account and make a single annual donation rather than monthly donations so that banks take less of your donation.
We are grateful for your donation, no matter how you pay. Like all organizations that accept credit cards and electronic payment, though, we pay transaction fees to our credit card processor. You may already know that every time you pay for something or donate using something other than cash or a check, the entity you are paying pays a transaction fee of 2 – 5%. These transaction fees enrich the shareholders and management of whatever bank issued your credit card. The same is true of Venmo and PayPal, which were founded by Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, who personally profit from transaction fees through those platforms. Being a nonprofit, we get reduced transaction fee rates (around 2% for credit cards, Venmo, and PayPal, 0.8% for bank drafts), but they add up. You can use our transaction fee calculator is you’re curious.
Examples:
$50 donation: Credit Card fee $1.50, bank draft fee 40 cents.
$600 donation: Credit Card fee $13.50, bank draft fee $4.80
$1,000 donation: Credit Card fee $22.30, bank draft fee $5.00

You may conveniently and securely donate appreciated shares of stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds through our stockdonator.com account to support Indy Community Yoga, avoid capital gains taxes, and take a tax deduction at the same time. In addition to shares from after-tax accounts, IRA QCDs (Qualified Charitable Distributions) are also accepted. Please click on the button below to learn more and donate.
We encourage you to use your local public library, buy used books from places like betterworldbooks.com and abebooks.com, or support the lovely ecosystem of bookstores wherever you live.
If you want to buy a new book from an online source, though, please consider buying through our bookshop.org shop. All of the books we read and reference in our practices are available there. When you buy any book, including books not on our lists, through our shop, Indy Community Yoga receives 10% of your purchase price as a donation. Bookshop is a network of independent bookstores and organizations like ours that shares profit from purchases. Prices are comparable to a certain other company that shares a name with a major river in South America that exploits its workers and whose CEO has an ego-driven rocket ship project.
