XX 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.
