About Bawa N Mallick Foundation
Bawa N Mallick Foundation Inc gives repeated, project-based support to rural education and related livelihood work, with Ekal Vidyalaya USA standing out as a major partner. One of its largest recent awards was $180,000 for a 1 million fruit trees project, showing that the foundation backs practical, asset-based interventions as well as schooling. Its grant record also includes education-focused support for Advancement for rural Kids, which received $150,000 in 2025 and $55,000 in 2023, alongside a broader set of smaller awards to organizations serving children and community welfare needs. The foundation’s pattern points to a mix of education, health, and social welfare grants that often support specific programs rather than general operating needs. It has funded eye-health outreach through Sankara Eye Foundation, emergency response and social welfare through Friends of United Hatzalah, and youth or student-serving organizations such as Aarti for Girls Inc and Shanti Bhavan Childrens Project. Several recipients are U.S.-based organizations with strong ties to India-focused or South Asian community programming, reflecting a grantmaking profile centered on underserved communities and diaspora-linked service delivery.

Education is the core of the foundation’s recent giving. It awarded $75,000 and $10,000 to Ekal Vidyalaya USA for education/livelihood work, and $150,000 to Advancement for rural Kids for education. It also supported Shanti Bhavan Childrens Project with $16,000 for educational programming and gave $10,000 to Akanksha Education Fund for educational work. Health-related giving appears in both direct and indirect forms. Sankara Eye Foundation received $50,500, $30,000, and $20,000 for eye health, while Doctors Without Borders USA Inc received $16,000 for health. The foundation also gave $16,000 to Smile Train for health and $11,000 to Akshaya Patra Foundation USA for social welfare/health. Livelihood and community-support grants are present as well. Global Seed Savers received $10,000 for livelihood, and Ekal Vidyalaya USA’s fruit-tree project received $180,000, linking agricultural assets with rural development.
How Bawa N Mallick Foundation Gives
Typical grants are modest to mid-sized, with a p25 of $2,125, a median of $2,500, and a p75 of $14,500, alongside a few much larger project grants. The pattern includes repeat support for several organizations across years, especially Ekal Vidyalaya USA, Advancement for rural Kids, Sankara Eye Foundation, Bharatiya Bhavan USA, and Sheows Cares Foundation Inc. That repetition suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. The foundation is a grantmaker, not an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments. Recent awards are mostly project-specific, often tagged education, health, social welfare, or livelihood.
