The Puran Devi Aggarwal Family Foundation primarily supports Hindu faith-based institutions, South Asian cultural and spiritual education, and scholarships for students. Their grants split between one or two large commitments to international education/health charities and many smaller gifts to local Hindu temples, yoga/meditation centers, and scholarship programs. Recipients include both local Orlando organizations and groups serving South Asian communities or schools abroad.
Concentrated giving pattern with one large multi-grant commitment (major share to a single international education/health nonprofit) plus a mix of small-to-midsize repeat and one-off grants to local Hindu, cultural, and spiritual organizations; several repeat grantees indicate ongoing relationships.
A $50,000 general-support grant to Health and Education for Less Privileged in 2024 stands out in the foundation’s recent giving, both for size and for the way it matches a broader pattern of support for Hindu, South Asian, and education-related organizations. Puran Devi Aggarwal Family Foundation also backed the same Orlando-based charity with $40,000 and $33,000 in 2023, showing repeated support for a single international education-and-health group. Alongside those larger commitments, the foundation made grants to temples, yoga and meditation organizations, and scholarship programs that serve American Hindu and South Asian communities. The giving pattern suggests a mix of faith-based congregational support and direct educational aid rather than a single-program strategy. Recent grants also include support for Hindu Society of Central Florida, Generation Om, Chinmaya Mission Orlando, and Dhyanyoga Center, which together point to a funder that funds both local community institutions and spiritual education efforts. Several gifts are labeled general support, while others specify temple activities or scholarships, indicating flexibility in how the foundation backs recipient organizations.
Faith-based community support is a clear theme in the foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $13,501 in 2023 to Hindu Society of Central Florida Inc for temple activities, and later added $2,000 and $1,001 for the same purpose. Spiritual education also appears across multiple recipients: the foundation awarded $10,000 to Life in Yoga Institute in 2023, then $1,001 in 2024, and it gave Dhyanyoga Center $5,001 in 2025 after earlier grants of $4,002, $3,000, and $2,001. Scholarship support is another distinct lane; Generation Om Inc received $12,500 in 2023 to provide scholarships to American Hindu students, followed by additional support in both 2023 and 2025. The foundation also made a $25,000 general-support grant to MOTHER MIRACLE School, reflecting interest in education beyond local temple-centered work.
Typical grants cluster at modest levels: the 25th percentile is $2,000, median grant size is $4,501, and the 75th percentile is $10,000. The data also shows repeated awards to the same organizations across multiple years, including Health and Education for Less Privileged, Hindu Society of Central Florida, Generation Om, Life in Yoga Institute, and Dhyanyoga Center. That pattern suggests ongoing support rather than mostly one-time gifts. The foundation appears to operate as a family foundation, and the grant list includes many general-support awards alongside targeted support for temple activities and scholarships.
