The Arhant Social Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation makes grants only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so you should not send it an application unless it has already invited you to apply.
- Its stated aims are education, well-being and vocational training, with a focus that is domestic and international, so check your work against those areas first.
- About 8 in 10 of its grants to organisations fall between $3,200 and $225,000, and half are about $45,500 or less, so a request in that region is typical, although its largest grant was $1,550,000.
- In its most recent filing, 85% of grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in the filings before, so its giving is concentrated among organisations it already supports.
