SUPPORT THE MANDIR
In every way, The Mandir relies on the support of our members and those in our community. We owe our very existence to those first families who came together and pooled their resources to ensure essential services would be available to them. That was true forty years ago and it remains true today. The vote of confidence our members make in The Mandir through their support and involvement takes many forms. However you decide to give, The Mandir community will benefit from your generosity.
DONATE
Charitable giving is an important part of hindu religious life, an obligation we all share. Every gift to The Mandir affirms this value for you while enhancing the quality of our programs for everyone else. You can truly make a difference in our community by making a donation, our online donation form makes giving easy. If you’d like to make a larger contribution or would like to create a new fund, please contact Anil Patel, President / Chairman of the Board, at 423-432-6517.
Maximize your contribution through Corporate Gift Matching. Does your employer match employee charitable contributions? Many area companies will match charitable donations dollar-for-dollar. Contact your company's matching gifts coordinator to determine whether your donation to The Mandir is eligible to be matched.
VOLUNTEER
The work of The Mandir is extensive and diverse. Even with our Executive Committee and Priest, it would not be possible to deliver on these initiatives without the assistance of committed volunteers. These individuals participate in Mandir life by serving on committees.
It’s impossible to put a dollar amount on the value of these contributions. The gift of time, it has been said, is the greatest gift of all. We encourage you to join the ranks of those volunteers who’ve given so much of their time to their Mandir family.
To find out more about volunteering at The Mandir, contact Shastriji at 423-499-2799.
BECOME A MEMBER
One of the most important ways to support The Mandir, and the many individuals in our community, is to become a member of our Samaj ($301 membership). Members receive a number of benefits in exchange for their support. They also receive the peace of mind in knowing they’ve helped to ensure vital hindu religious services are available to anyone in our community who needs them. For almost 40 years, The Mandir has existed because individuals like you have bought in, literally, to our mission of serving the hindu religious community. We encourage you to become part of that history and to help build The Mandir’s future.
