BDH Foundation concentrates its giving on small, community-focused Jewish charitable causes, with a particular emphasis on funding organizations that provide wedding assistance (kallah/chassan funds) and other local relief or community-service intermediaries. Grants are typically modest-to-medium in size and directed repeatedly to the same handful of organizations, suggesting long-term relationships with neighborhood or faith-based nonprofits rather than broad national grantmaking. The foundation appears to operate like a family or donor-advised fund, channeling support to both named family funds and grassroots Jewish service groups.
Bdh Foundation’s largest recent grant went to Keren Simchas Chosson V'kallah, a Brooklyn-based charitable organization that received $25,000 in 2025. That grant fits a clear pattern: the foundation repeatedly supports Jewish wedding-assistance and community-relief intermediaries, often at the same organizations year after year. Ten Yad Hachnasas Kallah also appears multiple times in the recent grants list, including awards of $20,000 in 2023 and 2025 and $13,000 in 2024, showing a sustained relationship rather than one-off project funding. The foundation’s giving is centered on modest-to-medium grants for local Jewish charitable work, with a strong preference for groups that channel aid through neighborhood institutions. Brooklyn organizations make up much of the list, but the pattern is not limited to one grantee type: family-directed philanthropy appears as well, through support for Hurwitz Family Fund in Glendale, California. Other recipients include community-service and relief groups such as Goodness Kindness Inc, Simchas Shabbos V'yom Tov, and Rockland Religious Services. Across the recent grants, the foundation funds practical, community-based assistance rather than broad, national programs.
Wedding assistance is one of the clearest themes in Bdh Foundation’s grantmaking. In 2025, it gave $20,000 to Ten Yad Hachnasas Kallah in Brooklyn, and the same organization also received $13,000 in 2024 and $20,000 in 2023. Keren Simchas Chosson V'kallah in Brooklyn received $20,000 in 2024 and $20,000 in 2023, alongside a larger $25,000 grant in 2025. Community relief and holiday support are another visible thread. Simchas Shabbos V'yom Tov in Brooklyn received $5,500 in 2025 and $5,000 in 2024, while Rockland Religious Services in Monsey received $5,000 in 2025. The foundation also supported Goodness Kindness Inc in Brooklyn with $18,000 in 2024. Family-directed philanthropy appears in the grants to Hurwitz Family Fund in Glendale, including $23,500 in 2025 and $11,000 in 2024.
Bdh Foundation’s grants are typically small to medium in size: the 25th percentile is $1,800, the median is $4,300, and the 75th percentile is $11,000. The recent record shows recurring support to several organizations across multiple years, especially in Brooklyn and nearby New York communities, which suggests relationship-based giving rather than isolated awards. The foundation also channels money to named family funds, including Hurwitz Family Fund, indicating a family-directed or donor-advised structure. No application process is shown in the data.
