How to support the work of the World Subud Association
The WSA exists to ensure that the practice and expression of the spiritual practice of Subud (the latihan kejiwaan) stays as close to the original experience received by Bapak Muhammad Subuh Sumohadiwidjojo. In this way, humankind – generations from now – will be able to receive and practice the latihan kejiwaan in its complete and unchanged form.
The core work of the WSA therefore focuses on protecting and preserving the life works of Bapak in all media: audio, visual, and print. The WSA then makes this work available in many languages, formats, and platforms so that the advice and guidance received for humankind by Bapak may be shared with everyone in Subud. The WSA funds the travel and activities of eighteen international helpers around the globe, enabling them to inspire and deepen our receiving of the latihan kejiwaan. The WSA also coordinates and supports various interest groups and activities such as youth development, entrepreneur networking, and charitable endeavours; activities which are inspired by our latihan to improve the conditions in our own lives as well as in the world around us.
The World Subud Association is registered as a non-profit organization in Washington D.C. USA.

GIVE FOR THE LONG TERM
WSA ENDOWMENT FUND
Some people really love the idea of donating to a fund where the principal is invested and then only the proceeds are allowed to be spent. This means your donation continues to provide revenue to the WSA year after year – forever. If this appeals to you, the WSA Endowment Fund is the answer!
You can give to the WSA Endowment Fund whenever you feel like it – and it can be any amount. Simply click on this link to the Muhammad Subuh Foundation who manages and invests this Fund for the benefit of WSA. It’s that simple to give a gift that keeps giving, year after year.
EARMARKING (RESTRICTING) YOUR DONATIONS
Continuing financial support is needed for all activities of the World Subud Association. Therefore, a donation to the General Fund (or the WSA Endowment Fund) is the most preferred way to give, and enables the administration to ensure all activities are funded as per its annual budget.
However, occasionally you might be moved to donate to a specific area of activity or interest, or perhaps there’s a campaign underway for an activity or area that you want to support. In this case, you will want to “restrict” or “earmark” your donation. When you restrict a donation, WSA will never allow these funds to be spent on anything else. Therefore, great care is taken to track these donations to ensure your instructions are fulfilled correctly. As you can imagine, sometimes WSA may not always be able to honour your request. In this case, we will need to contact in you to advise you of the situation and to work with you to adjust the wording of your restriction.
If you wish to have your donation support a specific activity of the WSA, please indicate the area you wish to support If you are restricting your donation, please notify: [email protected]
RECEIPTS & TAX DEDUCTIONS
Receipts
WSA will acknowledge all donations and can provide receipts on request including charitable tax receipts for donors from the USA.

* WSA uses Network for Good for on-line donations. Network for Good service 60,000 non-profit organisations and is a secure, convenient donation system that makes it possible to give to WSA, anytime, online. They ensure that your credit card information is handled in a secure manner and charge a percentage fee for each credit card donation. For small donations this fee is negligible. When you make a contribution through Network for Good, we receive a record of the amount and what the donation was for, but WSA does not handle any of your credit card information.
