Purpose and Mission of this fund

Grant income is to be used for temple cleaning purposes only. Cleaning guidelines and restrictions are listed below. All applications for temple cleaning purposes may be considered. This also includes ways to keep the temple clean and tidy such as environmentally friendly garbage disposal. We particularly support the cleaning of the inner sanctums and methods to maintain their cleanliness. Whenever possible cleaning activities should be done without the use of chemicals. When cleaning products are required, non-toxic/environmentally friendly products should be used where possible. Disposal of any waste should also be done in an environmentally friendly manner. Further guidelines and restrictions may be amended in the future. The conditions of this grant may change over time, and can be updated by the creators of the fund to further clarify and target the use of the funds.
