Fauji Foundation (Urdu: فوجی فاؤنڈیشن), (lit. Soldier Foundation), (also known as Fauji Group) is a Pakistani conglomerate company based in Rawalpindi. It is active in fertilizer, cement, food, power generation, gas exploration, LPG marketing and distribution, financial services, security services and provides womb-to-tomb benefits to retired servicemen of Pakistan Armed Forces and their families.[3]

The word "Fauji" is an Arabic loanword that means "soldier" and the company was set up in order to provide employment opportunities to Pakistani ex-military personnel and to generate funds for the welfare of widows, and families of martyrs.[4] It also undertakes welfare projects in education, medical, training, and rehabilitation for military personnel.[5]
