Dear Community Members,

On behalf of the Nepali American Community Center (NACC), we extend our heartfelt thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathy to all those affected by the recent devastating floods in Nepal.

Our hearts are with the families who have lost loved ones, those who have been displaced from their homes, and everyone facing hardship and uncertainty as a result of this disaster. We stand in solidarity with the people of Nepal and with the many individuals and organizations working tirelessly on the ground to provide rescue, relief, and recovery assistance.

At times like this, our strength comes from coming together as a community. We encourage everyone who is able to support flood relief efforts by donating through official, verified, and reputable relief organizations or government-designated channels. Please take care to verify fundraising campaigns and donation requests before contributing, ensuring that your generosity reaches those who need it most.

Even a small contribution can make a meaningful difference by helping provide food, clean water, temporary shelter, medical care, and other essential assistance to families affected by the floods.

Let us come together as a compassionate Nepali-American community and extend our support to our brothers and sisters in Nepal during this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Nepal. May those affected find safety, strength, and hope, and may the affected communities recover and rebuild soon.

With heartfelt solidarity,
Nepali American Community Center (NACC)

PRESS RELEASE
Manassas, Virginia
August 9, 2026

***Nepali American Community Center Awarded $190,000 Through FEMA’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program***

The Nepali American Community Center (NACC) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded $190,000 in funding through the FY 2025 Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP), administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

The highly competitive federal grant program provides funding to nonprofit organizations that are at heightened risk of security threats, enabling them to strengthen physical security, improve emergency preparedness, and enhance the overall safety and resilience of their facilities and communities.

The award represents a significant milestone for NACC as the organization continues to develop its community center into a safe, welcoming, and inclusive gathering place for the Nepali American community and the broader community in the region.

The $190,000 NSGP award will support a range of critical security improvements at the NACC facility. Planned enhancements include:
• Installation of high-security perimeter fencing;
• Upgrades to building security systems;
• Installation and enhancement of security camera and surveillance systems and other protective measures designed to strengthen the safety and security of the facility

These improvements will help NACC create a more secure environment for the many cultural, religious, educational, social, and community activities hosted at the center throughout the year.
NACC recognizes that a thriving community center must not only provide opportunities for cultural connection and community engagement but also ensure that those who use the facility can do so in a safe and secure environment. The NSGP funding will provide valuable resources to strengthen the center’s physical security while supporting NACC’s long-term commitment to community safety and preparedness.

Additional information about the funded projects, implementation timeline, and security enhancements will be shared with the community as the projects move forward.

NACC Construction Project Update as of July 28, 2026

1. Murti and Tudal Shipment from Nepal

The shipping container carrying the Murti and Tudal arrived at the Port of Baltimore approximately 10 days ago and has successfully completed customs clearance through the retained customs agent. Customs fees have been paid, and the shipment was officially released today.
An American logistics company has been retained to transport the container from the Port of Baltimore to the NACC project site tomorrow, July 29, 2026
Our contractor coordinates the unloading process. Please note that unloading is not included in the transportation company's scope of work. Since the project coordinator will be out of town during the delivery, available Board members are requested to be present at the project site to assist with coordination.
The entire container must be unloaded within two hours. Any additional unloading time will incur a charge of $95 per hour for container detention. Sufficient volunteers are requested to assist so the unloading can be completed safely and within the allotted time.

2. Construction Progress
Construction continues to make steady progress, with regular on-site supervision and coordination to ensure work remains on schedule.
a. Temple Area
Nearly all required inspections have been successfully completed, including fire alarm, sprinkler, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, structural, and ceiling-closure inspections. Installation of the hard ceiling and attic insulation is currently underway and is expected to be completed by Friday. Painting is scheduled for next week, followed by flooring and trim installation.
b. Kitchen
Installation of the kitchen hood has been completed. The county requested revisions to the previously approved plans, and the project engineer has completed the necessary modifications. The revised plans are expected to be submitted to the county this week. Kitchen floor tiles have already been delivered to the project site.
Storage Area and Lobby Adjacent to the Party Hall
Framing has been completed, and drywall installation is currently in progress.
c. Party Hall
The project is awaiting HVAC inspection before the ceiling can be closed. The county required the installation of dampers prior to installing the indoor cassette units and exterior cooling system. Manufacturing of the HVAC equipment is expected to be completed within approximately 10 days, and approval to close the ceiling is anticipated within the next two weeks.
d. Main Water Pump
All components for the main water pump have been delivered, and installation is currently underway. Completion is expected within the next few days.
e. Bathrooms
Floor and wall tiles have been delivered to the project site, and construction of the bathroom vanities has been ordered.
f. Upper Two Floors
All mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work has been completed. The air-conditioning system is expected to be activated within the next couple of days, and the final ceiling-closure inspection will be scheduled this week.
g. Elevator
Manufacturing and installation of the elevator remain on schedule for the end of August.

Project Status
The NACC construction project continues to move forward steadily, with numerous major inspections successfully completed and several significant construction milestones nearing completion.

Sincere appreciation is extended to the Board of Trustees, Executive Committee, volunteers, contractors, donors, and all community members for their continued dedication, support, and commitment to bringing this important community project to completion.
