🌺 TOHI – Important Update & New Path Forward
Dear Community Members,
Temple of Humanity Inc. (TOHI)
Over the past few months, our board has worked tirelessly to maintain a dedicated temple space with regular opening hours. However, after thoughtful assessment, we acknowledge two important realities:
1. Rising Operational Costs
Our current rental and utility expenses exceed $3,000 per month, making it financially unsustainable.
We want to ensure every dollar is invested wisely toward TOHI’s long-term vision and community benefit.
2. Limited Volunteer Capacity
All our volunteers and board members have full-time jobs.
Maintaining daily temple opening hours with very few volunteers has become impractical and unsustainable.
🛕 Our New Direction – Sustainable & Community-Centric
The TOHI Board has decided to return to the earlier approach that served us well:
✔️ Hiring functional halls for festival and deity events
This allows us to host high-quality, meaningful programs without the pressure of daily operations.
✔️ Focusing on impactful celebrations and community activities
We want to ensure every event is organized with care, devotion, and strong community participation.
🎯 Our Long-Term Vision – A Permanent TOHI Temple
To achieve the dream of owning a permanent temple for our community, we are launching a strong, sustainable fundraising initiative:
🌟 TOHI 500 Families × $30 Monthly Donation Program
If 500 families contribute $30 per month,
TOHI will generate:
📌 $15,000 per month
📌 $180,000 per year
This steady financial foundation will help us:
Build capital for purchasing TOHI’s future permanent home
Strengthen our financial stability
Apply for government grants and cultural funding
Support larger community, religious, and cultural programs
This is more than a donation—
it is a collective mission to build a spiritual home for generations to come.
🤝 We Invite You to Join This Vision
We welcome families, devotees, and well-wishers who believe in:
Religious unity
Community harmony
Cultural preservation
Building a spiritual legacy in Australia
Your monthly contribution, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to our shared dream.
💛 Together, We Build TOHI’s Future
This is not a step backward.
It is a strategic, thoughtful step forward—one that ensures TOHI grows sustainably and meaningfully.
With unity, faith, and love, we will create a temple that stands as a beacon for our entire community.
Thanks
Team TOHI
