Jaideep and Rachel Khanna Foundation

About Jaideep and Rachel Khanna Foundation

A $300,000 general operating grant to The Nudge Foundation is the clearest signal in the Jaideep and Rachel Khanna Foundation’s recent giving: it backs organizations that deliver education and livelihood programs at scale. That same pattern continues with $250,000 to Rocket Learning Foundation, another large unrestricted gift to a group focused on learning delivery. The foundation’s 2025 grants show a preference for funding organizations’ core operations rather than restricting dollars to a single project, which points to a relationship-based approach centered on organizational capacity and program reach. Its portfolio also includes community-facing gifts in Connecticut alongside larger grants to education nonprofits with broader footprints. In the recent list, the foundation supported Boys and Girls Club of Greenwich Inc, Children’s Learning Centers of Fairfield County Inc, and Building One Community Corp, while also making larger awards to institutions such as Muskingum University and Duke University. The mix suggests an interest in education, youth development, and nonprofits able to deliver services consistently over time. Across the listed grants, the foundation’s decisions look selective, with many awards sized to reinforce ongoing work rather than to seed new initiatives.
