About DAWN MOUNTAIN

Dawn Mountain is a Houston-based Tibetan Buddhist temple, community center, and research institute founded in 1996 by Anne C. Klein and Harvey B. Aronson. The organization offers weekly free guided meditations, regular teaching series, retreats, e-learning and live webcasts that serve a global online audience while hosting in-person programs in the Galleria area of Houston. The organization’s EIN (76-0507052) corresponds to its publicly available IRS Form 990 filings and appears in major nonprofit databases; Dawn Mountain files annual reports and Form 990s and remains an active, donor-facing 501(c)(3). In recent years it has expanded digital programming, maintained a steady online audience (about 60% U.S.-based viewers reported by the organization), and advanced a capital campaign and facility upgrades to support studio/broadcast capabilities and visiting teachers.

Notable achievements

Financial recovery and growth (2023)

Returned to positive net income and reported materially higher net assets in its most recent Form 990 year (2023), reflecting increased contributed support and stabilization of operating finances following prior multi-year volatility.

Expanded online reach

Built a robust global online presence with regular live webcasts, archived teachings, and e-learning resources that draw a majority of viewers from outside Houston and broaden access to traditional Tibetan Buddhist teachings.

Institutional development

Advanced institutional priorities including an active Research Institute for translation and preservation projects, publication/transcription initiatives, and a multi-year strategic plan and capital campaign to renovate or acquire a dedicated facility with improved broadcasting technology.
