CRM (Customer Relationship Management) & Fundraising Platform
After evaluating various nonprofit CRM platforms, PBMNC decided to implement Zeffy for fundraising, membership, & donor management.
Community Engagement
A few community members had questions about our mission & collaboration. We successfully engaged with such members through open dialogue & addressed their concerns.
Collaboration with religious organizations
Building alliances has been our priority. PBMNC connected with local religious organizations &received invaluable feedback on how to move the organization forward.
Membership Drive
PBMNC membership drive kicked off on October 6, 2024. We are thrilled to receive several new membership forms just a few days after the membership launch!
Member Appreciation
To be distributed as a token of gratitude for new members, we ordered 2,000 pieces of “Memorabilia” from Nepal. These items have been received, custom-cleared, & are ready for distribution.
Charity Registrations
PBMNC registered with Benevity, Network for Good, & GuideStar, earning Candid Platinum Transparency for 2024.
Land Search & Offer
After evaluating several potential sites, we identified a prime location & made an offer for 30-40 acres, priced between $1.5 & $2
million. We’re partnering with Mr. Daxay Malkan of Esteem Properties to finalize this land deal by the end of 2024. Exciting times ahead, indeed!
International Collaboration
We are establishing connections with esteemed organizations such as the Nepal Embassy in Washington, DC, Pashupati Bikash Kosh, Esa Foundation, Vishwo Hindu Parisad, UNESCO Heritage, & the Buddhist Federation. This collaboration will enrich our temple blueprint & artifacts.
Collaboration Group
To foster communication & creativity, we’ve created a Viber group where members can discuss ideas related to our mission.
