Our History
TCT History Registered as non-profit in 2015, Treasure Caretaker Training (TCT) continues the hands-on preservation and educational activities in nunneries, monasteries and lay communities that had begun in 1970 in India and Nepal with the Founder/Executive Director.
In 2014, Treasure Caretaker Training (Digital Monastery Project) won the prestigious Chairman's Choice award from the international Digital Empowerment Foundation for innovative work teaching documentation on cellphones to prevent theft and preserve history of sacred art in lay and monastic communities.
We aim for highest standards of professional and organizational activities. For example, TCT uses Network for Good to collect and process donations for accountability and transparency and has Candid GuideStar Silver Transparency.
TCT constantly updates team members according to the project/venue. Our Advisors include Buddhist teachers such as Ani Pema Chodron, who is a long-time supporter and donor.
