The Huguenin Rallapalli Foundation concentrates support on a small set of community-focused projects, split between rural Himalayan community development (infrastructure, health and school improvements) and Bay Area pandemic-era food and education relief. They fund capital/repair projects and core operating needs (staff salaries, food distribution) rather than broad policy or advocacy work, and show repeated support for the same village-level partners.
The Huguenin Rallapalli Foundation’s largest recent grant went to the Nangi Village–Mohare Trekking Lodge in Ramche VDC, with awards for building repair and expansion in both 2025 and 2024. That pattern points to a funder that backs specific places over time, not one-off projects. Their portfolio also includes sustained support for a Nangi Village medical clinic, school renovation work at Himanchal High School, and Bay Area food and education assistance. The foundation gives at a relatively small scale, with grants that often sit in the low thousands, and it directs all reported giving to recipients in California and Nepal. Across the recent grants list, the mix is practical and localized: facility repairs, staff and salary support, emergency food aid, and operating support for project-based organizations. The repeated grants to the same village-linked partners suggest a relationship-driven approach focused on ongoing needs rather than broad thematic grant cycles.
In rural Himalayan community infrastructure, the foundation funded the Nangi Village–Mohare Trekking Lodge in Ramche VDC for building repair and expansion, and also supported Khopra Hydropower Station in the same area for maintenance. For education, it gave to Himanchal High School in Ramche VDC for school building renovation and expansion, and to Sterne School in San Francisco for education support. Health funding includes Nangi Village Medical Clinic grants for salaries for medical staff and for a paramedic salary. The foundation also supported food access in the Bay Area, including grants to Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, SF Marin Food Bank, and Alameda County Food Bank for food support during the pandemic or food support.
Grant sizes cluster in the low thousands, with a p25 of $3,000, median of $6,750, and p75 of $11,825. The recent record shows repeat giving to the same recipients across multiple years, especially the Nangi Village–Mohare Trekking Lodge, Nangi Village Medical Clinic, Sterne School, and National Innovation Center. The pattern is project-oriented and practical: building repairs, salary support, food relief, and general funds for current projects. The foundation is not reported to fund individuals or make program-related investments.
