The Latika & Rajiv Jain Foundation concentrates its giving on international eye care and strategic philanthropic vehicles, making a few large, unrestricted gifts. The foundation is a repeat supporter of Sankara Eye Foundation USA (major funding for vision/eye-care work) and also channels substantial funds through a donor-advised/philanthropic fund, suggesting both direct program support and flexible grantmaking mechanisms.
Highly concentrated: very few, large grants with repeat support to a single health organization (Sankara Eye Foundation) and use of a national philanthropic fund for flexible grantmaking; gifts are predominantly general/unrestricted.
The Latika & Rajiv Jain Foundation’s largest recent commitments went to Sankara Eye Foundation USA in 2024, with two separate $500,000 grants: one for the Kalahandi Eye Hospital Project Fund and one for general and unrestricted support. That pairing is a strong signal of how the foundation operates in practice: it backs eye-care delivery directly, while also using flexible grants to support the organizations carrying that work. Across the recent grants list, it gives at a national scale, with most awards landing in the $25,000 to $65,001 range and several larger six-figure gifts appearing in the record. The foundation also uses philanthropic intermediaries, including a $500,000 grant to Goldman Sachs Philanthropy Fund for general and unrestricted purposes. Other recent grantees point to a mix of health, service, and community-oriented philanthropy, including Akshaya Patra Foundation USA, Udayan Care USA, Nyaya Health a Nonprofit Corporation - Possible, and Karuna-shechen USA. The pattern suggests a funder comfortable with both project-specific support and unrestricted funding, especially where the work is tied to eye care or related human services.
Eye care is the clearest throughline in the foundation’s recent grantmaking. In 2024 it gave $500,000 to Sankara Eye Foundation USA for the Kalahandi Eye Hospital Project Fund, linking its support to hospital-based vision care. It also made a separate $500,000 unrestricted grant to the same organization, showing support for both a specific facility project and the broader operating work behind it. Beyond ophthalmic care, the foundation has backed child and family service organizations. It gave $40,000 in both 2024 and 2025 to Udayan Care USA for general and unrestricted support, and it provided $25,000 to Holt International Childrens Services Inc for Bengaluru. Food assistance appears as another theme: grants went to Akshaya Patra Foundation USA and The Cooperative Feeding Program Inc for general and unrestricted purposes. The record also includes support for Nyaya Health a Nonprofit Corporation - Possible and Karuna-shechen USA.
Typical recent grants cluster around a $17,500 p25, $25,000 median, and $62,500 p75, though the record includes much larger $500,000 awards. The foundation gives almost entirely to U.S.-based recipients and does not fund individuals. Recipients appear across multiple years: Sankara Eye Foundation USA, Udayan Care USA, Karuna-shechen USA, and Jain Center of South Florida Inc each show repeat support, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. The grants mix general and unrestricted support with project-specific and event-based funding, and the record also includes a philanthropic intermediary grant through Goldman Sachs Philanthropy Fund.
