The Gold Family Foundation concentrates large gifts to Jewish religious and community causes, with an emphasis on supporting Jewish day school infrastructure and child-focused medical/charitable assistance. Its grants are few but substantial, directed at organizations that serve Jewish education, religious life, and medical support for children and families. The foundation appears willing to fund both national U.S. institutions and organizations with an Israeli or international Jewish focus.
Gold Family Foundation’s largest recent gift was a $2.5 million grant to National Society for Hebrew Day Sch in Brooklyn, a clear sign of its focus on Jewish day school infrastructure and religious education. The foundation also made a $1 million grant to Zichron Menachem for medical assistance, showing that its giving extends beyond education into child-focused health support. Across the recent grant list, the pattern is consistent: substantial support for Jewish religious and communal institutions, with recurring attention to welfare services, Hebrew language education, and medical aid for children and families. The foundation’s grants include both U.S. and Israeli-linked Jewish organizations, and they range from seven-figure awards to smaller but still meaningful operating-style gifts. Recipients include Mifal Tov V'chesed in Spring Valley, Mosdos Bais Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky in Beit Shemesh, and the University of Maryland Hillel in College Park. Its grantmaking also reaches organizations serving practical needs, such as food, welfare, and family support. The overall profile is that of a family foundation making concentrated, mission-aligned grants to Jewish institutions and services with religious, educational, and charitable roles.
Jewish education is a major thread in the foundation’s giving. In 2025, it granted $88,815 to Israel Shulem Gold Fund in Valley Cottage for higher education, and in the same year gave $70,000 to University of Maryland Hillel in College Park for higher education. Earlier grants also supported Jewish educational institutions, including $26,000 to Maryland Hillel and $8,000 to Keren Torah Vchesed in Lakewood. Religious and communal welfare is another recurring area. Gold Family Foundation gave $668,696 to Mifal Tov V'chesed in Spring Valley in 2025 and $100,000 to Mosdos Bais Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky in Beit Shemesh in 2023, both coded as religious support. Welfare assistance also appears repeatedly, with grants such as $50,000 to Ahavas Tzedokah Vchesed in Brooklyn and $35,000 to Tomchi Shaboss of Rockland in Monsey. Medical support is present as well, including funding for Ray of Hope in Haverstraw and Refua Resources in Brooklyn.
The typical grant size is $5,000 at the 25th percentile, $8,000 at the median, and $50,000 at the 75th percentile, but the recent record also includes several much larger awards. The foundation’s grants appear to recur across years: Mifal Tov V'chesed, Israel Shulem Gold Fund, Tomchi Shaboss of Rockland, Refua Resources, and Ahavas Yisroel Charity Fund all received more than one grant in the list. Gold Family Foundation makes grants from a family foundation structure and funds individuals, which aligns with its direct-service and assistance-oriented patterns.

Highly concentrated giving: a very small number of large grants (seven-figure and high six-figure gifts) rather than many small awards; funding appears targeted to a narrow set of Jewish communal and child welfare priorities.
Notable grantees: National Society for Hebrew Day Schools, Zichron Menachem, Mifal Tov V'Chesed

Yes. Several recipients appear more than once in the recent grants list, including Mifal Tov V'chesed, Israel Shulem Gold Fund, Tomchi Shaboss of Rockland, Refua Resources, and Ahavas Yisroel Charity Fund. That suggests recurring support rather than only one-time gifts.
The foundation’s grant-size distribution is $5,000 at the 25th percentile, $8,000 at the median, and $50,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent list also includes larger awards such as $2.5 million and $1 million, showing a wide spread above the median.
