Introduction
Khaki Foundation is a private philanthropic initiative supporting education, healthcare, community services and opportunities for vulnerable people. Its website documents charitable support provided over time, with an emphasis on helping organisations initiate or strengthen work that others can sustain or expand.
Its grant records include organisations working in the United States and internationally, covering activities such as educational access, affordable housing, medical facilities and community development.
History and Background
Mohamed Jawad Khaki and his wife, Kaniz, established Khaki Foundation in December 2003. The family’s published biography describes its founding purpose as assisting vulnerable people with essential needs and supporting educational initiatives to alleviate poverty and suffering.
The foundation is based in Kirkland, Washington. Its federal tax exemption dates from October 2004, and its Employer Identification Number is 20-0461805. Public financial records identify it as a private foundation filing Form 990-PF.
Its public grant archive provides a chronological record of supported organisations, project descriptions and, where available, proposals, reports and related materials.
Mission and Purpose
The foundation’s published mission focuses on meeting essential needs and expanding educational opportunity. It describes its work as inspired by Qur’anic principles of compassion, justice and service.
Its stated priorities include assistance for people experiencing hardship, access to learning resources, teacher development, vocational pathways and stronger community institutions. Its educational approach values local commitment, shared responsibility and clear long-term plans.
The foundation describes its role as providing relatively small, catalytic contributions. Depending on the circumstances, support may address an immediate need, enable initial progress or complement a larger initiative already underway.
Governance and Structure
Publicly available tax filing information lists Mohamed Jawad Khaki as director, president and treasurer, and Kanize Fatima Khaki as director, vice president and secretary. Ateqah Khaki is also listed as a director. The extracted 2025 filing reports no compensation for these officers.
The foundation’s website serves primarily as a public record of philanthropic support. It states that it does not seek donations or operate programmes directly through the site. Its descriptions of past support should therefore be read as records of particular commitments rather than announcements of continuing services.
Funding and Grants
The foundation’s financial resources include contributions and investment-related income. ProPublica’s extraction of its 2025 Form 990-PF reports approximately US$6.01 million in revenue, US$1.64 million in expenses, and US$25.38 million in net assets.
The same filing records approximately US$1.31 million in charitable disbursements. These are annual financial figures, rather than a published budget for an open grant competition.
The official grant archive reviewed does not publish a standard award range, application deadline or general application process. Organisations researching the foundation should use its records to understand previous funding interests without assuming that historical support establishes current eligibility.
Major Programs and Initiatives
Education and Learning
The foundation’s 2026 records include support for Family Educational Services Foundation’s Digital Learning Program in Pakistan. The described objectives include developing digital sign-language learning resources, strengthening teachers’ skills, reaching out-of-school Deaf children and expanding access to literacy and numeracy materials.
Local Leadership and Educational Access
Support for Iqra Fund focuses on underserved communities in Baltistan. The recorded work includes strengthening local leadership, assessing educational and infrastructure needs, improving access to public resources and documenting approaches developed with community and government partners.
Housing, Healthcare and Social Services
Historical records include assistance to Habitat for Humanity Seattle-King County for housing construction and repairs, the Hashim Welfare Hospital Appeal for maternity facilities, and Real Escape from the Sex Trade for case-management services supporting people leaving sexual exploitation.
Impact and Examples of Work Funded
The grant archive demonstrates the breadth of the foundation’s support, including school buildings, educational sponsorships, housing and community facilities. Its 2025 records identify Nyota Foundation educational sponsorships for orphaned and low-income students in Tanzania, as well as support for expanding facilities and services at the Khoja Shia Ithna-asheri Muslim Community of Birmingham.
Earlier records include a mobile library for children in Gujarat through Samerth Charitable Trust, illustrating support for learning opportunities beyond conventional school infrastructure.
These entries document the purposes of support. The foundation explicitly distinguishes its historical record from claims of measured outcomes, so project objectives should not be treated as independently verified results.
Conclusion
Khaki Foundation’s philanthropic activities centre on essential needs, educational access and community institutions. Its grant archive offers useful insight into its funding interests, while its emphasis on local responsibility and continuity explains the role it seeks to play alongside supported organisations.
