We help children learn.

The Majid Bhai Foundation is a family foundation funding the people who lift communities across India: in classrooms, small businesses, care homes and wherever disaster strikes.

Education support

We back the people already changing their corner of India.

What we fund.

Four causes, one way of working: every grant goes through people who know the school, the street and the family by name.

Education support

A child's future shouldn't depend on what their family earns. We fund the support and resources that keep underprivileged children learning.

Entrepreneurs

Talent is everywhere. Capital, customers and technology are not. We back first-time founders from underserved communities so a good idea gets its fair chance.

Elder care

The people who raised a generation deserve dignity in return. We support nursing homes and care facilities that give elders safety, comfort and company.

Disaster relief

When a flood or an earthquake takes everything overnight, families need shelter, food and essentials right away. We fund that relief, in India and beyond.

Bhai means brother.

Our founder, Abdul “Majid Bhai” Siddiqi, is known to friends, family and colleagues simply as Majid Bhai. In Urdu and Hindi, bhai means brother, and we put it on the door as a promise: close enough to understand what a community really needs, steady enough to stay with it.

We are a family foundation, registered in the United States and giving in India. We fund the people who already know the ground, and we ask one thing in return: tell us plainly how the money was used and what changed. If your work fits, write to us.

Local first

We back people and organisations who already know the community and its needs.

Read with care

Every application is weighed against the need it serves and the mission we keep.

Honest about results

Grantees tell us what changed, and we share it with the people who support us.

Chief Executive Officer and Board Chair

The foundation is the charitable partner of Majid Bhai Capital.
