The CRH Foundation appears to operate as a grantmaker that channels its philanthropic resources through a donor-advised or intermediary vehicle rather than making direct program grants. In the available year the foundation made a single, large unrestricted grant to the Bessemer Giving Fund, indicating a preference for using third-party fiscal intermediaries to manage and distribute philanthropy. Because all giving is directed to that fund with a generic purpose, the foundation's substantive program priorities are not discernible from this dataset.
Concentrated, one-time large grant to a single intermediary (centralized pass-through model); no direct programmatic grantees reported.
The Crh Foundation’s largest recent grant was a $10,328,361 payment to Bessemer Giving Fund in 2025, which frames the foundation as a grantmaker that uses an intermediary vehicle for much of its philanthropy. That same pattern appears alongside a smaller set of direct grants to operating nonprofits, ranging from health and hunger relief to education and human services. Recent awards include $120,000 to COPD Foundation in 2025 and $250,000 to Lrei Campaign for Progress in 2023, showing both high-dollar pass-through giving and direct support to named organizations. The foundation’s recipient list also includes repeat support for several organizations across multiple years, which suggests an ongoing relationship with some grantees rather than one-off awards only. Grants to Planned Parenthood, Coalition for the Homeless, World Central Kitchen, and Englewood Hospital Foundation recur in the available record. Overall, The Crh Foundation gives across a national set of recipients, but its recent profile is defined less by a single program area than by a mix of intermediary funding and direct general-purpose grants to a wide range of nonprofits.
Health-related support appears in several grants. The foundation gave $120,000 to COPD Foundation in 2025 and $100,000 to the same organization in 2024, plus $10,000 to Lynn Sage Breast Cancer Foundation in 2023. It also awarded $25,000 to Englewood Hospital Foundation in 2025 and again in 2023. Human services and food security are another clear thread. In 2025, The Crh Foundation gave $15,000 to Feeding America and $15,000 to Coalition for the Homeless, while earlier grants include $10,000 and $10,000 to Coalition for the Homeless in 2023 and 2024. Emergency relief and hunger response also appear through $25,000 to Save the Children, $25,000 to World Central Kitchen, and $25,000 to No Kid Hungry in 2024. The foundation also supports education and youth-related organizations, including $250,000 to Lrei Campaign for Progress in 2023 and $50,000 to Lrei Annual Fund in 2025, along with $12,000 to Fresh Air Fund in 2024.
Typical grants are modest relative to the headline 2025 transfer: p25 is $3,500, median grant size is $5,000, and p75 is $10,000. The recent record also shows a single very large outlier, with most individual awards far below that level. The foundation is classified as a regular funder, not a DAF-only or individual-giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments or grants to individuals. Recurring support is present in the data, with several recipients appearing in multiple years rather than as one-time awards only.

Notable grantees: Bessemer Giving Fund

Recent awards reach multiple cities, including New York, Miami, Englewood, Washington, Chicago, Brooklyn, and Jackson.

The distribution centers on relatively small awards: the 25th percentile is $3,500, the median is $5,000, and the 75th percentile is $10,000. That sits alongside a much larger 2025 transfer to an intermediary fund.
