Building a hall for teaching the Quran falls under ongoing charity ( jariyah). Whoever participates in its construction will receive a reward commensurate with their contribution. This is one form of ongoing charity, like building schools. Giving charity on behalf of a deceased mother is considered an act of righteousness and kindness towards her, based on the of Ibn Abbas: "Will it benefit her if I give charity on her behalf?" He said: "Yes."
