Your contribution matters
আপনার দান

The two funds
Choosing where your gift goes
- Temple general fundমন্দির তহবিল
- Keeps the doors open, the lamps lit and the kitchen running — the fund every other part of the temple leans on.
- Sharodiyo Durga Utshavশারদীয় দুর্গা উৎসব
- The idols, the decoration, the cultural programme and the community feast across the five days of Durga Puja.
Sponsoring a particular puja, an annadan, or a piece of work around the temple is always welcome — call the office on (313) 327-8191 and we will set it up. You can also become a member or see what is coming up.
Questions
About giving
- How is my donation processed?
- Through Square, the temple's payment provider. Your card details are entered directly into Square's own secure fields and are never seen by, or stored on, this website.
- Can I give monthly?
- Yes. Choose Monthly and your card is charged the same amount on the same date each month. The first payment is taken straight away, and you receive an emailed receipt for every one.
- How do I change or stop a monthly gift?
- Call the temple office on (313) 327-8191 or reply to any receipt email, and we will change or cancel it for you. There is no contract and no minimum term.
- Can I give in someone's memory?
- Yes. There is a line on the form for a dedication — in memory of, or in honour of, someone — and it is recorded with your gift and shown to the temple office.
- Can I sponsor Durga Puja specifically?
- Choose Sharodiyo Durga Utshav as the fund. Your gift is recorded against the festival and goes to the idols, decoration, cultural programme and community feast.
- Can I give by cheque or in person?
- Yes. Cheques can be posted to 31696 Ryan Rd, Warren, MI 48092, or handed in at the temple. Call (313) 327-8191 if you would like to arrange something else.
