Abantika Piyush Shah Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests, so an organisation should not send it a cold application.
- Education is the most frequent purpose among its grants, so a request is most likely to fit if the work is educational, though housing, cultural and health organisations also appear in the record.
- About 8 in 10 of its 13 grants to organisations fall between $100 and $1,000,000, and half were $1,000 or less, so a modest request is more realistic than a large one; its largest grant was $1,500,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
- None of its grant dollars in its latest filing went to organisations it had also funded in its earlier filings.
- Its geographic focus is not stated, and the filing shows grants mainly in Pennsylvania and India, which describes past giving rather than who may apply.

Priority Areas
The foundation's grants have gone principally to educational organisations, including bodies supporting children's education and higher education. The recipient mix includes a university foundation, a high school and education societies, alongside cultural organisations, housing charities and health-related organisations. Purposes recorded include education and literacy, children's education and higher education, as well as Indian performing arts and culture, housing, kidney cancer research and medical innovation.
