BBL Charitable Foundation makes a small number of relatively large, general-support grants focused on health and services for older adults. Their giving mixes direct support to local senior services with donations to health care institutions and disease-focused national nonprofits, and they sometimes fund the same health provider more than once.
Concentrated giving: few (4) grants totaling ~$171k, with large single grants and a repeat grantee. Grants are generally unrestricted/support gifts rather than project-specific awards, indicating core operating support priorities.
Bbl Charitable Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by support for older-adult services, with a standout $85,000 grant in 2024 to Colonie Senior Services Center Inc in Albany. That pattern fits a portfolio built around a small number of relatively large, general-support grants, rather than many small awards. The foundation also returns to the same organizations across years, including Adventhealth Wesley Chapel Foundation, which received support in both 2023 and 2025, and The Foundation of St Mary's Healthcare, which also appears more than once in the recent grants list. Alongside senior-focused work, the foundation funds health institutions and disease-oriented nonprofits, indicating an interest in both local service delivery and broader health needs. Its grants are concentrated in New York, but the recent list also includes recipients in Florida, Texas, California, and across a limited set of community, hospital, and nonprofit settings. The overall picture is of a grantmaker that favors institutional support, often at four- and five-figure levels, with repeated backing for organizations connected to health care and older adults.
Older-adult services are a clear priority. Bbl Charitable Foundation gave $85,000 to Colonie Senior Services Center Inc in 2024 and $25,000 to the same organization in 2023, both in Albany, showing sustained support for local senior programming. Health system support is another thread: Adventhealth Wesley Chapel Foundation received $31,108 in 2023 and $30,000 in 2025, with an additional $20,000 grant in 2024, all marked as support. The foundation also funds hospital and health-related institutions in upstate New York, including The Foundation of St Mary's Healthcare in Amsterdam at $25,000 in both 2024 and 2025, plus St Peter's Hospital Foundation in Albany at $10,000 in 2023 and again in 2025. Outside direct service, it supported cardiovascular disease work through a $25,000 grant to the American Heart Association in Dallas.
The grant-size pattern is concentrated around modest institutional awards: p25 is $2,000, median is $2,000, and p75 is $9,250. Even so, the recent list shows several larger support grants at $20,000 to $85,000, suggesting selective larger commitments rather than broad small-ticket giving. Repeat grantees are common: several organizations appear in multiple years, including health systems, senior services, and local nonprofits. The foundation is not a funder of individuals and makes no program-related investments. The recent grants are all labeled support, which points to general operating or institutional support rather than restricted project funding.
