Bader Philanthropies Inc. is a Milwaukee, Wisconsin based foundation that consists of funds from the Helen Daniels Bader Fund and the Isabel and Alfred Bader Fund. It pledges to give away $14 million annually. The organization centers on the health of older adults and improving lives of low-income Milwaukeeans, as well as Jewish education in Milwaukee.

History

The Helen Daniels Bader Fund has a history of focusing on Alzheimer's and the health of older adults, while the Isabel and Alfred Bader Fund focuses on "improving the lives of low-income Milwaukeeans and Jewish education throughout the city."

The creation of the Helen Bader Foundation Inc was first announced in November 1991. Over the next 24 years, the Foundation awarded $250 million in grants to deserving causes, with special emphasis on the needs of Alzheimer's patients.

In January 2015 it was announced that the Foundation would be restructuring. Additional charitable funding by Alfred Bader and his second wife Isabel, initially in the amount of $10 million, resulted in the formation of Bader Philanthropies Inc. The organization continued Helen's legacy under what became the Helen Daniels Bader Fund, while adding the new Isabel and Alfred Bader Fund to support charitable work in line with their interests. Under both funds, monies are allocated either as grants or as program-related investments. During the period 1992–2021, some $400 million was awarded, benefiting a range of areas, including Alzheimer’s & aging, arts, employment, youth, and Jewish education.
