Preserving and celebrating Nepali heritage, traditions, and culture in the greater Chicago area
We are building more than a center—we are building a home for the heart and soul of the Nepali community in the Midwest. For those of us living far from our homeland, it is a place where memories are honored, traditions are passed to the next generation, and our children can grow deeply connected to their roots. Our proposed project, strategically located near I-90, I-94, and I-294, close to O’Hare, will be accessible for families across Chicago and the entire Midwest, including Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan. With your support, this center will become a welcoming hub for Nepalese families, where we can celebrate festivals, participate in cultural programs, and strengthen our shared identity. At the heart of the center will be a Nepali temple, a sacred space where community members can come to pray, meditate, and honor our spiritual traditions. Adjacent to it will be a Nepali library and learning center, offering books, resources, and spaces for Nepali language classes, cultural workshops, and educational programs. These facilities will ensure that our language, history, and traditions are preserved and passed down to future generations. This center will be a home away from home—a place where elders share wisdom, youth learn and embrace their culture, and families gather in joy and unity. Every corner of this project will reflect our shared dreams: a place to celebrate, learn, grow, and connect. With your generous support, we can make this dream a reality. Together, we can create a lasting foundation for cultural preservation, education, spiritual growth, and community unity—a beacon for Nepali families across the Midwest, now and for generations to come.
Nepali Cultural Center Chicago – Proposal Summary The Nepali Cultural Center Chicago (NCCC) is envisioned as a premier cultural, educational, and spiritual hub dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich heritage of Nepal. Central to the Center will be a Nepali Hindu temple, serving as a sacred space for worship, cultural continuity, and community gatherings. NCCC is committed to safeguarding the Nepali language, traditional and performing arts, and cultural practices while fostering understanding and collaboration between Nepali and non-Nepali communities across the Chicago area. Through cultural festivals, educational workshops, language programs, and artistic performances, the Center will provide an inclusive and welcoming environment for individuals and families of all backgrounds. NCCC also supports humanitarian initiatives that enhance community well-being, reflecting a strong commitment to social responsibility and service. The Center’s strengths include an engaged membership of over 50 active members and the ability to mobilize resources quickly, having raised over $100,000 in a short timeframe. These achievements demonstrate both community support and organizational capacity, generating widespread excitement and enthusiasm among the Nepali diaspora and the broader Chicago community. Once established, NCCC will actively serve the community by offering a venue for cultural and religious celebrations, a growing Nepali library, regular Nepali language classes, and a dedicated space for community meetings and gatherings. It will also provide humanitarian assistance to those in need and create collaborative platforms for public dialogue, advocacy, and education. By fostering shared spaces and opportunities for engagement, the Center seeks to build bridges between communities, strengthen cultural understanding, and ensure the vitality of Nepali heritage in Chicago and beyond. By integrating spiritual, cultural, and educational programming, the Nepali Cultural Center Chicago will preserve Nepal’s legacy for future generations, foster cross-cultural dialogue, and serve as a lasting beacon for both the Nepali diaspora and the wider Chicago community. With strong organizational capacity, community enthusiasm, and a clear vision, NCCC is poised to become a vital hub that enriches Chicago’s multicultural landscape while honoring and sustaining Nepali heritage.
