The Watumull Foundation was established in Honolulu, Hawaii by businessman G.S. Watumull in 1942. As an immigrant from India, Watumull wanted his foundation to promote goodwill between the U.S. and India. His wife, Ellen (Jensen) Watumull (1875-1990), served as executive vice-president of the Foundation. Watumull Foundation resources supported an exchange of educators between the U.S. and India, financed Indian students in the U.S., sponsored medical research projects, aided Honolulu cultural institutions, and promoted birth control in India. Ellen Watumull helped Margaret Sanger plan the first International Planned Parenthood Conference in Asia (Bombay, 1952). After the death of G.J. Watumull, the Foundation started giving annual awards in his memory -- five in science and five in the humanities.
