The Bacchetta Foundation concentrates its giving on biomedical research into specific neurological and gastrointestinal disorders and on Jewish educational and philanthropic infrastructure. It funds medical research initiatives and genetics studies at major research centers, provides scholarships to a Jewish day school, and uses donor-advised/philanthropic accounts to support Jewish communal causes. Grants are large and targeted, often recurring to a small set of preferred organizations.
Bacchetta Foundation C/O Princeton Family Office shows a clear split between biomedical research and Jewish communal support. Its largest recent grants have repeatedly gone to the International OCD Foundation for research, including awards of $1,272,834 in 2024, $1,041,666 in 2023, and $1,036,832 in 2025. The foundation also backs ulcerative colitis genetics work through the Crohns & Colitis Foundation, where grants of $857,750 in 2023 and $833,000 in 2024 supported the Ulcerative Colitis Genetics Initiative. Beyond disease-focused philanthropy, the foundation supports Jewish educational and communal institutions. Abrams Hebrew Academy received scholarships in 2025 and earlier scholarship support in 2024 and 2023. Jewish Family and Children’s Services in Princeton also appears in the recent record with social services grants in 2025, 2024, and 2023, reflecting an ongoing pattern rather than one-off support. The funder’s recent activity is marked by sizable, targeted grants to a relatively small set of recipients.

For ulcerative colitis genetics, it gave $857,750 in 2023 and $833,000 in 2024 to the Crohns & Colitis Foundation. Its support for academic medical research is also specific.
