About Chirag Foundation C/O Anil and Abha Singhal Trustees

About Chirag Foundation C/O Anil and Abha Singhal Trustees
The Chirag Foundation C/o Anil and Abha Singhal Trustees shows a pattern of concentrated, high-value giving to a small set of education, women’s health, and youth-development organizations in Massachusetts and North India. One of the clearest signals in the recent record is repeated support for Pardada Pardadi, including a 2025 expenditure-responsibility grant of $98,000 for girls’ education and women’s health and hygiene, alongside another grant of $168,470 in 2024. The foundation also backs local service providers such as Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts and Boys and Girls Club of Greater Lowell, pairing international school- and girls-focused work with community-based programs in the U.S. Their grant list points to direct-service funding rather than broad policy work. Grants appear across schools, reproductive health, after-school programming, housing-related support, and community organizations serving women, children, and marginalized groups. Several awards are sizable, and the portfolio includes both unrestricted entries labeled “Various” and targeted, expenditure-responsibility support for specific projects. The result is a giving profile built around a few recurring partners and clearly defined service areas rather than a wide, diffuse portfolio.
What Chirag Foundation C/O Anil and Abha Singhal Trustees Funds
Girls’ education is a central theme. In 2025, the foundation gave $98,000 to Pardada Pardadi Educational Society to sponsor girls’ education and women’s health and hygiene, and it also gave $168,470 to Pardada Pardadi in 2024. That repeated support suggests sustained attention to school access and related health needs for girls in North India. Women’s health and family support also appear in the Massachusetts portfolio. Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts received $150,000 in 2024, and Sakhi for South Asian Women received $45,000 in 2025 and $40,000 in 2024. For youth services, Boys and Girls Club of Greater Lowell received $108,000 in 2024 and $50,000 in 2025. The foundation also funded The Akshayapatra Foundation with $61,157 in 2025 to sponsor nutritious meals for children in government and government-aided schools.
How Chirag Foundation C/O Anil and Abha Singhal Trustees Gives
Typical grants cluster in the mid-five-figure range: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $32,500, and the 75th percentile is $65,000. Recent grants also include larger awards well above that range, including a $400,000 donor-advised fund grant and other six-figure gifts.

The foundation uses donor-advised channels in at least one recent grant and also makes expenditure-responsibility grants for project-restricted support.
