The Miguel Urgell Charitable Foundation concentrates its philanthropy locally in Los Angeles on direct service for people with life-threatening illnesses. All recorded giving supports a single provider that delivers meals, housing, transportation and counseling, indicating a hands-on focus on basic needs and supportive care for seriously ill individuals. The foundation appears to prioritize sustained, practical aid rather than broad advocacy or multiple issue areas.
A single provider appears at the center of Miguel Urgell Charitable Foundation’s giving: Bill's Kitchen and Casa Miguel received the foundation’s largest recorded grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for meals, housing, transportation, and counseling for people with life-threatening diseases. That recurring support shows a clear preference for practical, wraparound aid rather than dispersed grantmaking. Across the latest filings, the foundation also backed organizations serving people with HIV, homebound seniors, children rescued from prostitution, and children needing cleft care, but the pattern stays close to direct services for vulnerable individuals. The foundation’s grants are small to mid-sized, with several awards at the $2,500 level and larger support concentrated in a few repeat relationships. Recent giving includes $7,500 and $6,000 to Children of the Night for rescue work, plus support for HIV care at organizations in Los Angeles, Washington, DC, Roxbury, and San Juan. Its activity is regional, and most gifts stay in California, where the foundation is headquartered and where many of its recipients operate.
Supportive care for people with life-threatening illnesses is the clearest theme in the foundation’s records. Bill's Kitchen and Casa Miguel received $61,988 in 2024, $34,244 in 2025, and $10,080 in 2023 for meals, housing, transportation, and counseling. The same service model shows up in smaller awards to Being Alive for assisting HIV patients and to People With Aids Action for care of HIV patients. Another thread is housing and food assistance for vulnerable patients and seniors. St Vincent's Meals on Wheels received $2,500 to provide nourishing meals to homebound seniors and others in need, while Aids Foundation received grants for home for youth with HIV in both San Diego and Los Angeles. The foundation also funded specialized child-focused services. Children of the Night was supported in 2024 and 2025 for rescuing children from prostitution, and Smile Train received a grant for cleft-related surgical and dental care.
Typical grants are compact: the p25, median, and p75 are $2,500, $2,500, and $7,500. That places most awards in a narrow band, with a few larger, repeated grants accounting for a meaningful share of total giving. The record also shows recurrence across years, especially for Bill's Kitchen and Casa Miguel, which appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and for Children of the Night in 2024 and 2025. The foundation gives as a charitable foundation rather than through individuals or program-related investments.

Highly concentrated: all recorded funds go to one recurring grantee (three grants) for programmatic operating support and direct services, indicating repeat, targeted support rather than dispersed or exploratory giving.
Notable grantees: Bill's Kitchen and Casa Miguel
Giving is concentrated in California, which accounts for 57% of grants. Los Angeles appears repeatedly, including awards to Children of the Night, St Vincent's Meals on Wheels, Being Alive, and Aids Foundation. San Diego and Arcadia also appear in California.

The foundation funds direct-service organizations working with people with life-threatening illnesses, including HIV/AIDS patients and youth with HIV. It also supports meals for homebound seniors, rescue services for children exploited in prostitution, and cleft-related surgical and dental care.
The typical award is $2,500. The grant-size distribution shows a p25 of $2,500, a median of $2,500, and a p75 of $7,500, so most grants fall in a fairly tight range.
Yes. Bill's Kitchen and Casa Miguel received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Children of the Night received grants in both 2024 and 2025. That pattern points to repeated support for selected grantees rather than one-time gifts.
