Since 1987 the Trust has run the Poor Peoples Project, a fund continuing a programme the Mumbai-based charity Zoroastrian Studies had already begun in 1979, eight years before the Trust took it up. The Project distributes funds monthly to needy Zoroastrians in Mumbai, Udvada and Navsari, India, three cities with long-established Zoroastrian communities, through the partner agency Zoroastrian Studies rather than through a UK office administering payments directly.
The Trust's own audited financial statements record 255,897 pounds sterling in donations and legacies received into the fund during the year ending 31 March 2025, split between 105,909 pounds unrestricted and 149,988 pounds restricted funds, a division that shows most of the year's giving arrived already earmarked for the Project rather than as general donations the trustees could redirect.
Alongside the Poor Peoples Project the Trust has periodically issued emergency medical relief appeals for members of the Zoroastrian community, a second and less routine channel of support that supplements the fund's regular monthly distributions in Mumbai, Udvada and Navsari.
