MINUTES

The Board of Trustees met to discuss long-term asset protection, digital infrastructure, and construction funding updates. Below is a summary of the key highlights:

The Board reviewed a proposed framework for a permanent Waqf / Irrevocable Trust structure to secure and protect all community properties and assets for generations to come. As per proposal (this will be shared with BOD)

1. Strategic Trust & Endowment Structure

  • Asset Protection: Under this model, all physical properties should be held securely within an Irrevocable Trust/Endowment entity.

  • Governance Roles: The Board of Trustees (BOT) should act as the Trustees managing the overarching trust, while the Board of Directors (BOD) will manage the day-to-day operations as the beneficiaries of the trust’s assets.

  • Next Steps: Legal steps will be explored to establish the formal endowment and secure its non-profit status.

2. Technology & Communications

  • Website Infrastructure: The Board is evaluating advanced backend platforms (such as Firebase) to improve the performance, security, and scalability of the official website.

3. Construction & Financial Update

  • Fundraising Progress: The Board reviewed recent collection milestones. 

  • Ongoing Engagement: Strategic communication channels will continue to be updated frequently so the community can track the financial and physical progress of the Masjid construction.
