Their attitude towards donations: if you feel that you’ve benefited from the course and would like others to be able to do so in the future then you can give a donation. The donation shouldn’t be given for the purpose of paying for the benefits you’ve received.
IIRC they don’t ever explicitly ask you if you want to give a donation. At the end of the course there is a visible table set up where you can give donations if you want to. They also have forms you can fill out if you’d like to get emails about volunteer opportunities.
Just to add to Luke_Grecki’s comment (which is spot on), at some of the old student courses it’s not even mentioned. The Goenka centers are remarkably passive about donations.
Their pages mention that they are funded entirely by donations from past students.
After you’ve taken the course, how much do they contact you (to solicit donations or otherwise)?
