The Bruckner Family Charitable Foundation concentrates on local health and human services in the NY metro area, funding hospice and caregiver programs, substance abuse treatment and related community supports, with a secondary interest in animal welfare. They favor unrestricted/general support grants to operational programs rather than project-specific funding, and repeatedly fund the same organizations over multiple years.
Relatively small-to-midsize, unrestricted gifts concentrated on a handful of repeat grantees in the NY metro/Long Island–Westchester area; funding is operationally focused and directed to established community service providers rather than a broad, dispersed portfolio.
A repeated pattern of unrestricted general support defines 2006 Bruckner Family Char Fdtn’s recent giving. The foundation backs a small set of New York-area nonprofits across hospice care, caregiver support, substance use services, and animal welfare, and it returns to the same organizations across multiple years. That consistency shows up in the recent grants list: Hospice Care Network Development Dept in Woodbury, Ken Hamilton Caregivers Center at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mt Kisco, Licadd in Westbury, and North Shore Animal League America in Port Washington each appear more than once. The grants are not project-specific; they are framed as unrestricted general support, which points to an emphasis on operating flexibility rather than short-term program funding. The foundation’s giving is regional, with all listed recent grants going to U.S. recipients and a clear concentration in the New York metro area. Its portfolio also includes support for hospital-linked caregiver services and organizations serving people affected by alcohol and drug dependence, alongside animal rescue and welfare work.
In hospice and palliative care, the foundation gave $11,515 to Hospice Care Network Development Dept in Woodbury for unrestricted general support, after prior grants of $11,000 in 2024 and $10,000 in 2023. In caregiver support, it funded Ken Hamilton Caregivers Center Northern Westchester Hospital in Mt Kisco with $11,515 for unrestricted general support, following $11,000 in 2024 and a $10,000 grant in 2023 to Nwh Northern Westchester Hospital Ken Hamilton Caregivers Center. Substance use prevention and treatment also appears in the record: Licadd in Westbury received $11,515 in 2025 and $11,000 in 2024, both unrestricted general grants. Beyond human services, the foundation included animal welfare through North Shore Animal League America in Port Washington, which received $11,515 in 2025 and $9,243 in 2024.
Typical grant sizes are tightly clustered: p25 is $10,000, median is $11,000, and p75 is $11,515. The recent record suggests recurring support rather than one-off awards, since Hospice Care Network Development Dept, Licadd, Ken Hamilton Caregivers Center, and North Shore Animal League America each appear in multiple years. Grants are written as unrestricted general support, indicating flexible operating support rather than restricted project funding. The foundation is a family charitable foundation with annual grants of $118,303 and total assets of $1,352,968.
