We highly recommend you make recurring monthly donations for this ongoing project. Monthly donations help us to plan our future projects and recurrent expenses and also can be used as proof of income to the bank to get more financial benefits such as HELOC loans, and financial plans for renovation projects.
Monthly donations are also exempt from taxable income as our temple is a registered non-profitable organization. and you can always reach our treasurer (info@ctbv.com) for supporting tax documents.
