TTD operates multiple trusts to carry out charitable initiatives, including free food distribution to pilgrims, support for education and healthcare, and promotion of Vedic learning. The Lord Venkateswara Swamy temple at Tirumala is among the busiest and wealthiest Hindu shrines in the world, attracting nearly three crore pilgrims from across the globe annually.

The steady rise in donations underscores both the trust of devotees and the continued prominence of the Tirumala temple as a leading center of faith and philanthropy.
