What We Offer

Large Grant Programme

Through the Large Grants Programme, we support National Charities whose work aligns with our charitable purpose. These grants are designed to make a significant impact on causes that matter deeply to our organisation:

• 
  Further relief of poverty
• 
  Terminal health care
• 
  Carry out health research
• 
  Medical treatment
• 
  Further child welfare
  
  Our Large Grant Programme is linked to The Arora Ball, our flagship fundraising event, which is held bi-annually at the InterContinental London - The O2.
  The next Arora Ball will take place on 28 November 2026. The programme is funded through proceeds raised from the event, with grant awards agreed in advance between the Foundation and the receiving charity.
  ‍
  We are delighted that Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity, Rays of Sunshine, and our own Arora Charitable Foundation have been selected as the beneficiaries of the 2026 Arora Ball, helping to create a lasting impact for children, families, and communities.
  
  We are also exploring opportunities to award Large Grants during the years between Arora Ball events, enabling us to extend our impact and support more charitable organisations. Details of the 2027 Large Grant Programme, including eligibility criteria and application guidance, will be published in due course.

Small Grant Programme

Through the Small Grant Programme, we will support established organisations whose registered office and area of benefit is based within a five-mile radius of an Arora Hotel in the Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Stansted, Englefield Green & London O2 and Hammersmith areas.
