The Foundation is a membership-based, non-profit and mission-driven
organization without any political affiliation in the US or in Bangladesh and with respect
for both transparency and confidentiality. Contributions to the Foundation are tax-exempt
as permitted by the US Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation also accepts zakat
contributions for eligible purposes.
The primary objectives of the Foundation are to uphold and foster community development in
the US while a secondary objective is to help the poor and destitute in Bangladesh. To
these ends, the Foundation is organized to achieve six broad objectives.
The first and foremost objective is the establishment of Bangladesh Community Centers in
major centers of community concentration. These Centers will sponsor, coordinate and
facilitate various social, educational and cultural activities, including maintaining
on-line services and promoting youth exchanges between Bangladesh and the US; and provide
residential accommodation-cum-catering facilities for students and visiting members.
Reflecting high priority for this objective, 70 percent of all membership fees and general
donations are invested in an account for this purpose.
A second objective is to provide financial assistance to low income community members at
times of crisis. The potential beneficiaries include all persons of Bangladeshi-origin,
including students and visiting Bangladeshis.
A third objective is to provide scholarships to low-income Bangladeshi-Americans to attend
post-secondary education and training courses in the US, and provide a limited number of
scholarships to American resident students for higher education or voluntary work in
Bangladesh.
A fourth objective is to organize Bangladesh Day annually in different States of the USA
simultaneously in collaboration with other organizations to recognize and encourage
community achievements and to promote the cultural heritage. To this end, funds are being
saved in an account for community recognition awards.
A fifth objective is to promote youth development by making provision of resource persons
for guidance, organizing workshops on internship and other employment opportunities, and
by providing leadership experience.
The sixth objective is to raise funds to finance development activities to benefit the
poor and destitute in Bangladesh.
WE INVITE YOU TO SUPPORT THESE OBJECTIVES BY BECOMING A MEMBER, DONOR OR A VOLUNTEER. We
