The Ram & Mithlesh Gupta Family Foundation concentrates its philanthropy on South Asian / Indian-focused education, cultural and community development, and humanitarian programs, often supporting institutions that connect the Indian diaspora to education and social services in India. Grants skew toward a small number of mid-to-large gifts to named organizations (including repeat support), with an emphasis on higher-education endowments, Hindu cultural/educational institutions, and charities delivering services (e.g., vision care, women’s economic empowerment).
A $90,000 grant to Hindu Univ of America anchors the Ram & Mithlesh Gupta Family Foundation’s recent giving and points to a clear pattern: the foundation backs Indian and South Asian educational and cultural institutions, alongside health and humanitarian organizations tied to those communities. Its grants include support for higher-education endowments, Hindu and Indian cultural education, vision services, and grassroots development organizations serving Indian communities in the United States and India-linked charitable networks. The foundation’s recent record shows both large institutional gifts and a steady stream of smaller awards. It supported Iit Delhi Endowment Fund with a $40,000 educational grant in 2025, while also funding Vision Aid multiple times across 2023 and 2024 for low-vision and vision-impairment support. Sewa Intl USA and Sewa Intl each received grants in the $20,000 range, and Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation of USA and related Ekal entities also appear in the recent grants list. The mix suggests a funder that combines cultural preservation, academic support, and direct-service philanthropy within a national grantmaking footprint.
Education and cultural institutions are a central theme. In 2025, the foundation gave $40,000 to Iit Delhi Endowment Fund for charitable educational support, and it also made a $5,000 grant to Hindu Univ of Florida to further studies on Indian culture. A separate $1,011 grant to Hindu American Foundation shows interest in organizations engaged with Hindu and Indian cultural work. Health-related support is another clear area. Vision Aid received three grants in 2023 and 2024 totaling $94,500, including a $32,000 award explicitly described as support for individuals with vision impairment. The foundation also gave $800 to Samarathan Trust for the Disabled. On community development, it supported Sewa Intl USA and Sewa Intl with grants of $20,000, and backed Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation of USA, Ekal Vidyalaya, and Ekal Vidalaya across 2024 and 2025. That pattern aligns with support for education and service programs connected to Indian communities.
Typical grant size sits at $4,250 at the 25th percentile, a median of $10,000, and $13,988 at the 75th percentile. The recent record shows a mix of one-off awards and repeat support, especially for Vision Aid, Sewa Intl, Ekal Vidyalaya, and India Discovery Center across multiple filing years. That repeat activity suggests the foundation often returns to organizations it already supports. The foundation is a family foundation and does not fund individuals. It also does not make program-related investments. Grants appear to be discretionary rather than application-based, since the provided data does not show an open application process. Many awards fall in the mid-five-figure or low-five-figure range, but the list also includes smaller gifts under $2,000.

Relatively concentrated giving: a small portfolio of mid-to-large grants with repeat funding to select organizations rather than many small, one-off gifts; funding is split between U.S.-based diaspora institutions and India-focused programmatic charities.

Recent grants show support for Hindu and South Asian cultural and educational institutions, higher-education endowments, vision-impairment services, and community-development organizations. Examples in the record include educational support for an Indian institutional endowment, grants for Indian culture studies, and funding for vision rehabilitation and grassroots service groups.
Yes. Several organizations appear more than once across the recent grants list, including Vision Aid, Sewa Intl, Ekal Vidyalaya, and India Discovery Center. The repeated awards span multiple years, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than isolated gifts.
The foundation’s grant-size distribution centers on mid-range gifts: the 25th percentile is $4,250, the median is $10,000, and the 75th percentile is $13,988. Recent awards include both larger institutional grants and smaller supporting gifts.
