The Kantaria Foundation was established in loving memory of our late father, Mr. Kurjibhai K. Kantaria, whose life was a testament to quiet generosity and heartfelt service. Born in the small village of Jilana in Gujarat’s Junagadh district, he experienced hardship firsthand. Yet, even with limited means, he found purpose in uplifting others—buying shoes for those walking barefoot, sharing food with the hungry, sitting beside lonely hospital patients, and even purchasing blood for those in desperate need. His acts of compassion, though small in the moment, left a lasting impact on countless lives.

Inspired by his values, the Kantaria Foundation was created to carry forward his spirit of giving on a broader scale.

We believe that every person deserves equal access to quality healthcare and education, regardless of financial status. Our mission is to bridge the gap between privilege and need—so no one is ever denied medical care or the opportunity to learn due to economic barriers.

The Kantaria Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 84-3595061), dedicated to building a more just, compassionate, and equitable world. Our work spans critical areas such as:

As a private family foundation, we are deeply committed to creating long-term social impact. We know that even small actions—when guided by integrity and empathy—can transform lives. That’s why we not only provide financial support, but also contribute our time, skills, and hearts to causes that align with our mission.

At the Kantaria Foundation, giving back is more than a responsibility—it’s a legacy we are proud to carry forward.
