Ideal Applicant
An established charity in India focused on cancer-related palliative care or healing-center projects that can absorb mid-to-large grants and is either known to the foundation’s network or can be introduced through a trusted intermediary.
Good Fit
- • Programs delivering home palliative care or inpatient palliative services for cancer patients.
- • Established operating presence in New Delhi or the other Indian states previously funded.
- • Capacity to manage grants in the $25K–$115K range.
- • A prior relationship, referral, or introduction to the foundation or its trustees.
Geography
Grants are concentrated overseas in India; the latest year covered two Indian states with 78% of dollars going to a single state, indicating regional concentration rather than broad national or global reach.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded only two distinct recipients, and prior years showed small numbers per year (typically 2–4), so the portfolio is modest in scale: not a large diversified program portfolio, but also not a single beneficiary.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly declares it funds only preselected organizations and no public application route or website is available; while the foundation has added new grantees in the observed years, those additions appear to be by selection/invitation rather than an open application process.
