But i think it is better to sit at the Star kabab restaurant near Dhanmondi 2. There are several bus lines available to go there. And another thing is we may want to discuss some of our future plans before the iftar. Dhanmondi 2 star has a huge sitting arrangement (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th floor are available now) so if we can come earlier than we can easily continue our discussion before it get too crowded. about the date, i prefer friday.

However if he (or any other organizer) seeks funding he or anyone else can write (with a rough bugdet, similar to a grant proposal) to WMBD officials directly. And the tresurer (Ali Haidar Khan) sounds like the good person to contact. I hope this will be dealt in timely fashion from WMBD's side.
