The foundation concentrates on local Bloomfield-area community support, funding neighborhood nonprofits, civic groups, and health charities that provide direct services to residents. Their giving favors first responders, youth and education initiatives, food/security programs, and disease-specific medical charities, with many grants designated for general operating support. They appear to prioritize nearby institutions (municipal unions, local foundations, and service providers) and repeat grantees that serve immediate community needs.
Concentrated, community-focused giving with a mix of a few large awards and many moderate grants; frequent repeat grantees and preference for unrestricted/mission support to local service organizations rather than long-term national program funding.
Bloomfield Senior Citizens Housing Felicity Towers directs large mission-support grants to neighborhood organizations that serve immediate community needs in Bloomfield and nearby Essex County towns. Its recent awards show a pattern of repeated support for local education, emergency response, food assistance, and civic groups, with several grantees appearing more than once across 2024 and 2025. The largest recent grant listed is $250,000 to Hearts for Gold, followed by $200,000 to the Bloomfield Educational Foundation and $145,000 to Neighbor to Neighbor, all described as support toward the organizations' missions. The foundation’s grant list also includes recurring backing for Bloomfield Emergency Medical Services Inc, Bloomfield Youth Aid Foundation, and local civic or first-responder organizations. Alongside those local awards, it has made grants to health and disease-focused charities such as The Valerie Fund, The Children's Heart Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and Epilespsy Foundation of America. Many awards are sized at $25,000 to $50,000, while a smaller set of larger gifts accounts for much of the annual giving. The pattern is steady, local, and rooted in organizational support rather than project-specific funding.
In education and youth support, the foundation gave $200,000 to the Bloomfield Educational Foundation for mission support and $50,000 to the Bloomfield Youth Aid Foundation for the same purpose. It also awarded $30,000 to Program for Parents Inc in Upper Montclair, another family-serving group. Food and basic-needs work appears through $145,000 to Neighbor to Neighbor in Bloomfield and $85,000 to Toni's Kitchen in Montclair. Both grants were labeled as support toward the organizations' missions. Health and disability-related giving includes $50,000 to The Valerie Fund in Maplewood and $25,000 to Essex County Special Olympics in Fairfield. The foundation also gave $25,000 to Deirdre O'Brien Child Advocacy Center Inc in Morristown, showing support for child-serving community infrastructure.
Typical grant size sits at $25,000, with the middle of the distribution also at $25,000 and the 75th percentile at $35,000. That suggests a core pattern of moderate grants, with a smaller number of larger awards such as the $250,000 and $200,000 grants in the recent list. The record shows repeated support for some recipients across 2024 and 2025, including Hearts for Gold and Bloomfield Youth Aid Foundation, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. The foundation makes local, mission-aligned grants and the recipients are organizations rather than individuals; it does not make program-related investments.
