Goyal Foundation
About This Funder
The Goyal Foundation, formerly the Hemraj Goyal Foundation, is a family-run charity established in 2010 by the Goyal family, led by founding trustee Avnish Goyal CBE and chaired by Anita Goyal MBE. Deeply committed to empowering children, young people, and women to overcome disadvantage and enhance life chances in the UK and internationally, its vision tackles persistent social and economic barriers through bold, ambitious partnerships with innovative organizations. Core values—ambition, empowerment, equality, collaboration, and systemic impact—drive a theory of change focused on education, skills development, advocacy, and holistic support, with intergenerational governance and hands-on leadership as hallmarks.
It prioritizes three themes: advancing education and life skills for deprived youth; women's empowerment and protection from violence, exploitation, and trafficking; and health/wellbeing improvements. Beneficiaries include at-risk children/young people, women facing injustice, and marginalized communities, primarily in the UK and South Asia (e.g., India), with occasional support elsewhere like Yemen. Funded activities encompass Inner Spark workshops, scholarships, Outward Bound courses, theatre-based mental health programs, anti-trafficking initiatives via British Asian Trust, STEM centers with Pratham UK, and projects by Toynank, Doorsteps School, and The Haven—emphasizing confidence-building, aspiration-raising, trauma support, and scalable solutions via project grants, core funding, capacity-building, and match-funding partnerships.
Invite-only funding targets aligned charities (grassroots to established) with no entity, income, or geographic restrictions beyond strategic fit; UK-wide and South Asia focus preferred. Typical grants range £5,000–£50,000 (smaller for scholarships/micro-grants, larger for multi-year collaborations), awarded ad hoc via trustee meetings without deadlines or unsolicited applications—organizations are approached directly through networks/referrals. Distinctively, it measures success by outcomes like improved achievement and reduced violence, favoring high-impact, system-changing interventions over outputs, with no stated exclusions.
