There seem to be previous years' grants on various pages (though not visible on the website menu):

  • http://breadrosesfund.org/2010-grantees/
  • http://breadrosesfund.org/2013-grantees/
  • http://breadrosesfund.org/2014-grantees/
  • http://breadrosesfund.org/2015-grantees/
  • http://breadrosesfund.org/2016-granteesnewsletter/

There might be even more on Internet Archive versions of the site (especially since this page mentions "2009 grantees").

So there are indeed pages like https://web.archive.org/web/20030802114041/http://www.breadrosesfund.org:80/about/grantees.html

I'm leaning toward thinking this isn't worth the trouble to add to DLW. Some reasons:

  • As with Nathan Cummings Foundation, the grants data are scattered across many different pages and the format changes from year to year, so this would probably take a few days to do well
  • Grant amounts are mostly not listed, so the quality of data isn't very good
  • If I understand correctly, they only fund "community organizing" non-profits located in certain counties in Pennsylvania, so there are unlikely to be organizations of interest (at least for me)

Are there any particular reasons you wanted to add Bread & Roses Community Fund, or was it just because there are grantees listed on their website?
