Sadh Sangat Ji,
We’re embarking on a bold project to construct a new building for Gurudwara in the Quad Cities region.
This expansion will enable us to have necessary space to not only allow the local sangat to worship weekly, but also enable other Sikh ceremonies such as Anand Karaj (Sikh Weddings). The new Gurudwara will also have classrooms, libraries, and meeting rooms that will provide infrastructure to allow children to learn Gurumukhi, stay connected with their rich Sikh history and Punjabi cultural roots.
Your generosity is going to have a lasting impact on many lives, keeping Guru Nanak’s philosophy of ‘Vand Chakhna, Kirat karna, Naam Japna’ alive for years to come.
Your donation is tax-deductible as we’re a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Every bit matters, so humbly request you to significantly contribute to this noble cause and receive Guru’s blessings. Our EIN is 20-1355029 and can be easily verified by using IRS Tax Exempt Search tool.
