The Amed Khan Foundation makes a small number of very large, targeted grants, concentrating support on humanitarian relief for war refugees and on cultural/educational media projects. Its largest and repeat funding goes to Elpida Spiti Astik for creating humane living conditions for refugees, while other major gifts back South Asian film and educational production initiatives. The pattern suggests a donor who prioritizes direct relief in crisis-affected communities and cultural or educational media that serves diasporic or youth audiences.
Amed Khan Foundation Inc’s largest recent commitments are two 2025 grants to Elpida Spiti Astik in Thessaloniki, one for $595,801 and another for $490,945, both described as support for creating humane living conditions for war refugees. That pair sets the tone for a grantmaker that concentrates on direct humanitarian relief rather than broad, diffuse philanthropy. The foundation also backs refugee-response work in multiple countries and contexts, including support for Save Ukraine in New York, a humanitarian-aid grant to the Greek America Cultural and Educational Foundation, and funding tied to medical evacuation flights for Gaza refugees. Beyond emergency relief, it makes selective gifts for cultural and educational media, including support for Hindi Films and Jigsaw Educational Productions. The overall pattern is a small number of targeted grants, many at relatively large dollar amounts, with a clear emphasis on displaced people, war-affected communities, and organizations delivering practical aid or specialized media programming.
Humanitarian relief is the clearest throughline in the foundation’s grantmaking. In 2025, it gave $75,000 to Save Ukraine in New York for general support, and it awarded $69,550 and $61,450 to the Greek America Cultural and Educational Foundation for critical humanitarian aid and relief work in Greece. Its refugee-response portfolio also includes $20,952 to Mohammad Saleem Rahimi in Panama City for rental assistance for a displaced refugee. The foundation extends that same crisis-response logic to medical logistics: it funded GAD Flights Ltd for Gaza Refugees with $13,400 for medical evacuation flights, and it gave $30,469 to Kriviy Rih Hospital Ukraine for purchasing and installing a generator for the hospital.
Typical grants cluster around five figures: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $10,625, and the 75th percentile is $30,469. The recent record includes both repeated support and one-off awards. Elpida Spiti Astik appears twice in 2025 at the top of the list, and Greek America Cultural and Educational Foundation also received two separate grants in the same year. The foundation is not a fund for individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. Its grantmaking style is direct and targeted, with many awards labeled general support or tied to a specific relief expense.

Highly concentrated giving: very few, large grants; repeat funding to a primary humanitarian grantee and single large gifts to cultural/educational media organizations rather than many small awards.
Notable grantees: Elpida Spiti Astik, Jigsaw Educational Productions, Hindi Films
Giving is regional, with 50% of grants going to recipients in New York state and the top grant volume outside the HQ city centered on Ukraine, Greece, and other crisis-affected locations. Recent recipients include Thessaloniki, New York, Kyiv, Warsaw, Panama City, and Gaza City. The recipient-country distribution shows the United States as the largest destination at 24 grants, followed by Ukraine at 16, Greece at 4, Poland at 3, and Panama at 2. That mix reflects a portfolio that reaches both U.S.-based intermediaries and organizations operating directly in conflict and displacement settings.
Its grants center on humanitarian relief for war refugees and displaced people, including refugee housing and shelter, emergency aid, evacuation support, medical transport, hospital equipment, and related infrastructure. It also funds a smaller stream of cultural and educational media projects.
The grant distribution is weighted toward five-figure awards. The 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $10,625, and the 75th percentile is $30,469.
