The Agarwal Family Foundation concentrates its giving in a few large, local gifts, primarily supporting a Hindu religious/cultural organization and regional healthcare. The foundation makes sizable donations (often repeated) rather than many small grants, indicating relationship-driven philanthropy focused on community institutions in the Los Angeles South Bay area. Its pattern suggests priorities of faith-based community infrastructure and medical/hospital support.
Agarwal Family Foundation’s largest recent grant was a $250,000 gift to Torrance Memorial Hospital Foundation for medical hospital support, which fits a broader pattern of relationship-driven philanthropy centered on faith-based institutions and healthcare. The foundation has also made major gifts to Param Shakti Peeth of America, including $200,000 in 2024 and $100,000 in 2025 for homes for orphans and destitute women. Those awards point to a donor that backs both religious infrastructure and direct social support. Across the recent grants list, the foundation appears to favor organizations tied to Hindu culture, Hindu education, temple work, and community services for Indian diaspora audiences. It also supports medical research and hospital-related giving, including a $25,000 grant to Brigham Women’s Hospital for research and a $20,000 grant to Saras Care Foundation USA Inc for health and science. The recurring support to a small set of organizations suggests an approach built on ongoing institutional relationships rather than one-time transactional grants. In this pattern, the foundation’s giving combines temple-centered community life, cultural preservation, and medical philanthropy.
The foundation gives heavily to Hindu cultural and religious institutions. In 2026, it awarded $50,000 to Dharmansh USA to protect, preserve, promote, and maintain Hindu culture, and it gave $40,000 to Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America In in 2024 for Hindu heritage and education. Temple support is another visible thread. Recent grants include $36,001 to Mandir Irvine Temple for a temple faith donation and $25,000 to Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America In for renovation of Hindu temples. The foundation also backs Hindu education and promotion through recurring grants to Krishna Bhakti Seva Sangh in Saint Paul, including $27,100 in 2025 for Hindu promotion and $15,500 in 2024 for spiritual development. Its health-related giving extends beyond temple life. The $25,000 grant to Brigham Women’s Hospital supported research, and the $20,000 grant to Saras Care Foundation USA Inc was marked health and science.
Typical grants are modest relative to the foundation’s largest awards: p25 is $1,000, median is $2,000, and p75 is $7,000. That distribution sits alongside a few much larger relationship gifts, including six-figure awards to a small number of recipients. The grant list shows repeat support to the same organizations across multiple years, especially in faith-based and community-service categories, which points to ongoing institutional relationships rather than one-off transactions. The foundation is a private family foundation; it does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. No application process is described in the data.
