The World Zoroastrian Organisation (WZO) Trusts reported stable donation inflows and notable changes in trustee leadership during the financial year spanning April 2025 to March 2026. According to the trust’s latest summary, total contributions amounted to approximately Rs. 27.15 crore, with nearly 69% originating from international donors and the remaining 31% from within India.

Expenditures on various welfare initiatives during the same period totaled around Rs. 25.38 crore. Of this, nearly 64% of the disbursements were funded by overseas donations, while about 36% were supported by domestic contributions. The trust emphasized its ongoing commitment to transparency and accountability in managing the funds entrusted by its community members, acknowledging donors of all sizes for their support.

The WZO Trusts, which operate across three separate charitable entities, also introduced leadership changes aimed at sustaining organizational adaptability and relevance. Long-serving trustees Mrs. Bachi Tamboly and Mr. Farrokh Kasad, who have been involved since the founding of all three trusts, have decided to reduce their roles by stepping back from two of the trusts. They will retain trusteeship in one trust to mentor newly inducted members.

Two new trustees, Mr. Arzan F. Tamboly and Mr. Karl F. Tamboly, have joined the boards across all three trusts. Arzan Tamboly, 48, is a qualified Chartered Accountant with over two decades of experience in banking and financial services, currently heading global solutions at 360 ONE Wealth and Asset Management Limited. Karl Tamboly, 45, is a practicing counsel specializing in matters before the Bombay High Court and arbitration since 2005.

The trusteeship now combines the experience of senior members with the fresh perspectives of these younger appointees, aiming for a balanced leadership structure. The updated trustee lineup includes key figures such as Dinshaw K. Tamboly as chairman and several joint managing trustees across the different trusts.

The WZO Trusts stated that the leadership changes are part of a deliberate strategy to evolve proactively, rather than reactively, ensuring that the organizations remain effective in addressing the community’s welfare needs. With this restructured leadership and sustained financial support, the trusts aim to expand their impact through new and meaningful projects in the coming years.
