About Bronxwood Home for the Aged
The Bronxwood Home for the Aged Inc. concentrates its philanthropy on faith-based Jewish institutions and neighborhood social services, with sizable grants for synagogues, yeshivas, and community food/meal programs as well as support for indigent elderly. It routinely funds capital projects (school building repairs/construction), operating costs for religious schools and congregations, and direct assistance programs (meal kitchens, soup kitchens, vouchers). While the portfolio is primarily Orthodox Jewish in orientation, the foundation also gives to nonsectarian social service providers addressing homelessness and health care.

About Bronxwood Home for the Aged
Bronxwood Home for the Aged Inc. gives at a scale of several large, repeated awards, including $500,000 grants to Mesamche Lev in 2023 and 2024 and to Cong Ahavas Tzedokah VChesed in 2025. Those recurring commitments point to a funder that supports Jewish communal life and practical aid, especially where religious institutions and social services overlap. The recent record shows a steady emphasis on Brooklyn and the Bronx, with grants for synagogue support, yeshiva and school infrastructure, food programs, and assistance for people facing economic hardship. The foundation’s portfolio includes both operating support and capital-related funding. It backed school building repair at Bais Ruchel High School Inc, school construction at Talmud Torah Chochmas Shlomo, and a building fund for Cong Khal Torath Chaim Viznit. It also funded direct-service work such as soup kitchens, food vouchers, meal kitchens, financial assistance, and support for widows, orphans, and indigent elderly people. Alongside Orthodox Jewish institutions, it has also supported broader social service and health-related providers, including Together We Are, Women in Need Inc, and Catholic Health Care Foundati.
What Bronxwood Home for the Aged Funds
A major theme is direct aid for low-income community members. Bronxwood Home for the Aged Inc. awarded $500,000 to Mesamche Lev for financial assistance for the poor and also supported Cong Boro Minyan Inc. with assistance for indigent individuals. Food access appears repeatedly as well: Congregation Sons of Israel received grants for a meal kitchen, and Jerusalem Open House received funding for a soup kitchen and food vouchers. Education is another clear line of giving. The foundation gave $500,000 to Bais Ruchel High School Inc for repair and improvement of a school building, $160,000 to Talmud Torah Chochmas Shlomo for construction of a school building, and $25,000 grants to Shuvu Return for education to immigrant children in three separate years. It also supported school operating costs at Kedushat Zion and educational operating costs at Amidei Zion of Bobov Inc. Elderly services and family support show up too, including aid for widows and orphans through Gemilos Chasodim Chasdel Mosh.
