Monthly sponsorship typically refers to a financial arrangement where an individual or organization commits to providing regular, ongoing support to another individual, group, or cause on a monthly basis. This support is often in the form of monetary donations, and it can be used to fund various initiatives, including charitable organizations, humanitarian projects, educational programs, or the livelihood of an individual in need.

To become a monthly sponsor, individuals typically sign up for a recurring payment plan, where a set amount of money is automatically deducted from their bank account or credit card each month. This regular and predictable income helps organizations plan their budgets and carry out their missions more effectively.

The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), also known as the Hare Krishna movement, is a prominent spiritual organization founded by Srila Prabhupada in 1966. ISKCON temples and centers worldwide often rely on donations and sponsorship from individuals and congregational members to support their activities, maintain their temples, and fund various programs and outreach efforts.

Monthly sponsorship in an ISKCON temple typically involves individuals or families committing to providing regular financial support to the temple on a monthly basis. This support helps sustain the temple’s operations, including daily worship services, deity care, food distribution (prasadam distribution), educational programs, festivals, and various community outreach activities.
