About RAF
More than a parking lot — a safer path to worship, learning and service.
Rahima Aziz Foundation connects worship, education and community life under one roof at 171 Knox Avenue. Families gather for daily prayer, students learn through Ar-Rahman Academy and Islamic Seminary, and neighbors find support through Maktab and community programs.
This appeal completes the safe, reliable path into that space: parking, drainage, lighting and accessible arrival for everyone who walks through our doors.
How the campaign proceeds
A clear $300,000 completion goal.
The campaign connects the published requirement to practical site work: preparation, drainage, paving, circulation, lighting, accessibility and the approvals needed to complete the project responsibly.
