The Khimji Foundation makes very large, concentrated gifts focused on international development and Muslim community infrastructure. Most dollars support the Aga Khan Foundation for general program work, while a substantial secondary gift funded physical improvements to a prayer center, indicating an interest in faith-based community facilities and global development tied to the Muslim world.
Very concentrated giving: only three grants totaling over $3M, dominated by two large gifts; repeat funding to a single international development partner (Aga Khan Foundation) and a single large capital grant to a local religious facility.
The Khimji Foundation’s recent giving is defined by a single large commitment to the Aga Khan Foundation: $1,510,000 in 2025 for general program support. That grant sits alongside another seven-figure award to the same organization in 2023, showing a sustained priority for the Aga Khan development network and its international work. The foundation also made a substantial capital gift of $670,857 to 160 E35 Owner Inc for improvements to a prayer center, linking its philanthropy to Muslim community infrastructure as well as global development. Smaller gifts in the recent record extend that pattern into cultural and community institutions, including museums and local-service organizations. The overall profile is concentrated rather than broad. Large unrestricted grants dominate the top of the list, especially for general program support, while the facility-improvement grant points to support for physical spaces used by worshippers and local community members. The mix suggests a funder that favors a few high-value relationships and channels most of its dollars into established organizations with defined roles in faith-based, cultural, or humanitarian work.
International development is the clearest program area in the recent record. The Khimji Foundation gave $1,510,000 to The Aga Khan Foundation in 2025 for general program support, following a $1,000,000 grant in 2023 for the same purpose. That repeated support ties the foundation to the Aga Khan development network rather than to one-time projects. A second theme is faith-based community infrastructure. In 2023, the foundation awarded $670,857 to 160 E35 Owner Inc for improvements to a prayer center, indicating support for physical spaces used for religious practice and gathering. Its cultural giving is also visible in museum support. The foundation made grants to The Aga Khan Museum in North York in both 2025 and 2023 for general program support, and it also gave $14,686 in 2024 to the Dallas Museum of Art. Together, those grants show an interest in institutions connected to Islamic culture and broader arts programming.
The Khimji Foundation’s grant sizes are highly uneven, with a p25 of $4,822, a median of $14,686, and a p75 of $351,711. That spread reflects a structure with a few very large commitments and a much larger cluster of smaller awards. The recent record shows repeat support to the same organizations across multiple years, including the Aga Khan Foundation and The Aga Khan Museum, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-off gifts. The foundation is an institutional grantmaker, not an individual-giving vehicle, and the grants in the record are framed mainly as general program support or capital improvements rather than project-specific, application-driven awards.
