The K T Elghanayan Fund concentrates its giving on major health care institutions and elite higher-education fundraising campaigns, with significant gifts directed to hospitals and university capital/campaign efforts. It also supports local New York City social services, particularly hunger relief and child residential programs, suggesting a mix of large institutional philanthropy and targeted community support.
K T Elghanayan Fund’s recent giving is defined by large institutional grants, led by a $350,000 award to The Yale Campaign for Humanity in 2024. That pattern continues across health care, higher education, and a smaller set of New York community organizations. The fund made repeated gifts to NYU Langone Health, including $200,000 in 2025 and $100,000 in 2024, and also supported Hss Foundation with $250,000 in 2025 and $100,000 in 2023. University philanthropy is another visible thread: Yale University received $250,000 in 2023 and $92,000 in 2025, while Harvard Business School received $50,000 in 2023. Alongside those institutional awards, the fund gives to local organizations tied to hunger relief, children’s services, and Jewish communal support. Recent examples include City Harvest Inc, Southampton Fresh Air Home, Citizens' Committee for Children, Scan- Harbor Inc, and Uja Federation. The overall picture is a funder that combines high-dollar support for major institutions with targeted local grants in New York.
Health care is a central area of support. The fund gave $200,000 in 2025 and $100,000 in 2024 to NYU Langone Health, and also awarded $250,000 in 2025 to Hss Foundation. In higher education, Yale University received $250,000 in 2023 and $92,000 in 2025, while Harvard Business School received $50,000 in 2023. Community food support also appears in the record: City Harvest Inc received $160,000 in 2023 and $40,000 in 2023. Children’s services are another recurring area, with Southampton Fresh Air Home receiving $125,000 in 2025, $100,000 in 2024, and $50,000 in 2023. The fund also supported family and youth-focused nonprofits such as Citizens' Committee for Children and Scan- Harbor Inc.
K T Elghanayan Fund’s typical grant size is $3,500 at the 25th percentile, $10,000 at the median, and $30,000 at the 75th percentile, while its recent giving also includes much larger institutional awards. The pattern suggests relationship-based funding rather than one-off microgrants: several recipients appear across multiple years, including NYU Langone Health, Yale University, Hss Foundation, City Harvest Inc, Southampton Fresh Air Home, Citizens' Committee for Children, Scan- Harbor Inc, Uja Federation, and Bridgehampton Chamber. The fund is a private foundation, not an individual giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments.
