After making preparations and creating blueprints, Watt Samaki plans to launch a fundraising campaign to gather funds from various sources like community members, foundations, government agencies, and corporate sponsors. They will work with business owners, grantmakers, and state, local, and federal entities, as well as their community and nonprofit partners and allies, to raise the required capital and ensure the project's completion.

By year five, Watt Samaki aims to complete the construction of the new wat, obtain necessary certificates and permits, and open the doors to the community as a spiritual home and community center. Additionally, Watt Samaki plans to establish collaborative partnerships with community organizations and land trusts to provide public access to the new center. Various ideas are currently under discussion, such as integrating the property with existing trail systems, organizing educational tours and visits for schools and colleges, and featuring a museum showcasing Cambodian culture, history, and art.
