The main aim of the Foundation is to promote South Asian Art and support Medically related projects and initiatives worldwide.  The medical relief goals involve educating and transferring state of the art surgical skills to the future leaders of medical delivery system in the developing nations and providing material assistance with acquisition of new technology or replacement of aging equipment and facilities in international institutions. The support for art related projects involves distribution of grant support to Not for Profit organizations or gig grants for performance related activities to the organizations that focus on recounting and highlighting the stories of the South Asian American and related minority communities. 

The impetus for establishing the Foundation was the Balkan conflict in the early 1992, which necessitated pulling together all kinds of resources to deal with the medical, psychological, social and resettlement issues involved with this tragedy.  Initially, the Hundal Foundation was primarily involved in collecting funds and networking with other organizations to raise awareness about the tragedy unfolding at that time. Later, during the conflict, patients with severe traumatic injuries were evacuated to Chicago’s leading university hospitals for medical care and rehabilitation until they were either ready to go back to their countries of origin or they were gainfully resettled in the United States.

During the earthquake in Pakistan in 2005, the Hundal Foundation partnered with the Chal Foundation to help in establishing Rehabilitation centers in the Northern areas of Pakistan for people disabled by injuries sustained in the calamity.

Currently the Foundation is involved with some of the major medical and education delivery organizations in Pakistan and India and assists with procurement of donations, medical supplies, medical equipment and as consultants on an as needs basis regarding the delivery of medical care.  The organizations that have been helped in the past include L V Prasad Eye Institute in Hyderabad India; Senkara Nethralaya Eye Institute in Chennai, India; Layton Rehmatullah Benevolent Trust (LRBT) Eye Hospitals in Pakistan, Chal Foundation in Pakistan, Civil Hospital in Karachi, Pakistan and Citizens Foundation based in Karachi, Pakistan.

 The Hundal Foundation is also involved in providing grant support and other related support to organizations like South Asia Institute in Chicago and The College of Literature, Science and Arts at University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor Michigan to promote the art and culture of South Asia and its diaspora through curated exhibits, innovative programs and educational initiatives. The Hundal Foundation intends to collaborate locally and globally to engage diverse communities in enriching creative experiences, support artistic productions by emerging and established artists and foster cultural appreciation of the South Asian Narratives of equity, inclusion and diversity.
