The base of Chahal Foundation began with the innumerable efforts and hard work of Gurbaksh Chahal. Gurbaksh was just 16, when he decided to pursue his career as an entrepreneur and dropped his studies from high school. It was his passion and his keen vision that he established four successful companies, followed by The Chahal Foundation, 501(c) 3.
The objective behind the organization is to provide dreams and restore hopes across the globe. Gurbaksh and the team of Chahal Foundation believe in; ‘We Care and so We Dare.’

About The Chahal Foundation
The Chahal Foundation was founded on July 17th, 2014 with a mission to create a meaningful global impact in the lives of those less fortunate and yet highly spirited. The foundation created a platform where people from all over the world share a common dream, and a universal right, ‘to be happy’.
Our team strongly believes that irrespective of people’s lifestyle, looks, financial background or religious beliefs, everyone has a right to live a happy life, which is free of fears. Everyone has a right to dream and a right to be educated. These common links and bonds between us connect us together.
The Chahal Foundation was originally evolved out of the BeProud Foundation, which was formed in August 2012. The story behind the foundation was in relation to the Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting; an unforgettable tragic day when a gunman killed six people and wounded four others.
The Chahal Foundation is based on few other dimensional thoughts in relation to the following areas:
- Create awareness of social causes in the societies
- University scholarships and mentorships across the countries
- Support disaster relief efforts
- Improve schools and its education systems in different parts of the world
Contributions of The Chahal Foundation:
The success of The Chahal Foundation is due to the continuous efforts of Chahal family and their contribution for social causes. To add more, efforts have been taken in improving the educational interests by providing Scholarships of New York’s Pace University. The foundation has extended its support for disaster reliefs by tying up with other non-profit organizations like; The Red Cross. Gurbaksh closely focuses improvement in academic interests of the youth by working with various NGOS in India and Africa.
The Chahal Foundation is keen to join hands with like-minded contributors and welcome internships as well.
#Lets Make Our Kids Smile Campaign :
“India has 440 million children. There are 187 million students who lack proper education. Many of them lack the basic facilities that we take for granted…playgrounds, libraries, and meals, for instance. Too many kids go hungry. Many of the schools don’t even have toilets for girls, causing millions of girls to drop out each year. It’s a life most can’t fathom.
For millions of children, education is an impossible dream. Instead they are put to work at an early age. Official statistics tell us that there are more than 12 million child workers in India. Many NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) estimate that the actual figure could be as high as 60 million. That’s almost twice the population of Canada. UNICEF estimates that India has the highest number of laborers in the world under the age of 14, and many toil in hazardous jobs.”
Save the future. Share hope. Share a dream. Make them smile. Make a difference.
