Our Dar-e-Mehr (DM) building celebrated its 10th Anniversary in March 2026!
Over the past decade, we have prioritized raising funds to support the ongoing operating and maintenance of this magnificent building. Thanks to the generosity of 200+ donors, the O&M Fund drive successfully raised $1 million (one million dollars) and was completed in March 2023. In addition, funds from the Z-House rental and DM building rental provided further support, allowing us to meet our operating and maintenance needs more than adequately.
To maintain our DM as one of the best in the world, we are committed to investing in system enhancements, facility upgrades, and other capital improvements. This makes it essential for us to now focus on raising funds for the DMZT CapEx Fund, with a target of raising $500,000 over the next three years!
The DM 10th Anniversary milestone gave this effort a kick start, led by our Benefactor, Dr. Shahriyour Andaz, who generously contributed $100,000 and invited the community to match it by May 2026. By our March 21 celebration, we raised $71,000 and were delighted to receive an additional $25,000 in spontaneous pledges thereafter, leaving only $4,000 to satisfy the match. Of the $96,000 total raised, $25,000 was used to offset event expenses (alongside the modest $75 registration fee), resetting the total raised to $171,000, and leaving $29,000 still needed to complete the $200,000 goal for 2026.
We request your continued support in reaching our immediate goal of $200,000 for 2026 and overall target of $500,000 over the next three years. Please include the DMZT CapEx Fund in your “Giving” plans! You may contribute towards –
- General CapEx (allows funds to be used where needed most),
- Security Camera System Upgrade Project,
- Main Hall Recarpeting Project,
- Perimeter Fencing Project,
- Children’s Playground Project.
