Help Keep Mantra Lounge Open

$1,355 of $15,000 goal
Given by 7 generous donors in 10 weeks

Help keep Mantra Lounge open, a welcoming community space offering accessible programs for wellbeing, connection and inner growth.

Hamilton East, Hamilton

Mantra Lounge is more than a café or community space. It is a place where people can come together, connect with others, learn about meditation and spirituality, enjoy kirtan and share wholesome plant-based food.

For many people, it has become a place of friendship, belonging and inner growth.

But right now, Mantra Lounge is facing a serious financial challenge.

We are currently losing approximately $500–$600 every week, and without support we may not be able to keep the doors open.

We are launching this fundraiser to give Mantra Lounge some breathing room while we work to put the finances on a sustainable footing.

Our initial goal is $15,000.

This will help us cover the immediate shortfall and essential operating costs while we work on improving the financial sustainability of the Lounge.

Every contribution, large or small, will make a real difference. If you can’t donate, sharing this page with friends, family and your community is also be a huge help.

We don’t want to lose this special space. With your help, we hope to keep Mantra Lounge open and continue providing a place for people to connect, grow and find a little more peace in their lives.

Thank you for supporting Mantra Lounge.
