We Are So Grateful For Your Support!
"My lovers are the medium of my outer work,
which is a result of the inner work I do."
—Meher Baba
Your generosity helps provide the opportunity for visitors from the world over to experience Baba’s lasting love which permeates the sacred sites associated with Meher Baba’s 1952 accident in and around Prague, Oklahoma.
As Baba said, “…this accident will benefit the whole world.”
Below are the various ways to support the Heartland Center, including the opportunity to pledge future support. Your loving gift will help preserve access in perpetuity to the places where the Avatar of the Age suffered on behalf of the whole world.
DONATE TO THE AVATAR MEHER BABA HEARTLAND CENTER
Donations to the Heartland Center fund the operating expenses and capital improvements which make it possible to provide comfortable accommodations for all those visiting Meher Baba’s sacred sites in and around Prague.
Funds accrued above those expenses will be transferred to the Heartland Memorial Initiative (HMI), which was created to plan for the future acquisition and memorialization of those sacred sites.
DONATE TO THE HEARTLAND MEMORIAL INITIATIVE
The HMI donation fund was created for those who prefer to donate specifically to the acquisition and preservation of the Prague Regional Memorial Hospital where Baba and His mandali were treated as well as the two properties adjoining the accident site.
OFFER A FUTURE PLEDGE
A future pledge is an important pillar of support to secure these most holy sites for all time and will only be honored when the opportunity for purchase is at hand.
“If I knock at your door and you are asleep, I will go away.” - Meher Baba
We cannot know Baba’s timing, but when the sacred sites of Prague become available for acquisition, we do not want to be caught sleeping!
When that time comes, pledges will be essential for us to act swiftly, especially in the case of the hospital as it is obligated to engage in a competitive bidding process.
CREATE A BEQUEST
One way to ensure the Heartland Center and these sacred sites remain available for future world pilgrimage is to create a bequest. A bequest is a simple and convenient way to leave a portion of your estate to the Heartland Center. We hope you will consider exploring the options in the downloadable pamphlet below.
