The foundation has sponsored several thousands of students via education grants, individually as well as through institutions.[4] It also supports culture and fine arts through the Godrej Dance Academy at NCPA.[7] The Foundation has been extending medical grants. In association with the Naoroji Godrej Center For Plant Research, the foundation has been working to preserve biodiversity and mangroves in Mumbai.[8]
