Charities
Mr N R Puri presides over a number of charities which provide education for young people in India, Nepal and the UK.
The Puri Foundation

The Puri Foundation is a charitable organisation set up with initial funding of £1million by Mr. N R Puri in July 1988. The Foundation has diverse objectives, as well as providing financial assistance in cases of extreme need, hardship or distress. Support is also provided for the advancement of education and enhancement of leisure and recreational facilities, particularly for young people.
The Puri Foundation has made major donations to a wide range of schools in and around Nottingham and owns, on behalf of the community, the newly finished Indian Community Centre Association’s premises in the City.
The Puri Foundation draws its income from a variety of commercial properties and land holdings, although the majority of the funds are donated by Mr. N R Puri.
There is no standard form for requesting funding; instead this should be done in writing to the Trustees of the Puri Foundation at the registered office address at Nottingham. On receipt of your request, we would acknowledge your letter and pass it to the trustees, who judge all applications on an individual basis. If your request is successful a cheque will be raised and sent to you.
