The Goldberg Family Foundation makes relatively large, unrestricted gifts to humanitarian, medical, and Jewish community organizations, prioritizing immediate impact and flexible support. Their portfolio mixes global emergency and development NGOs (e.g., Partners In Health, IRC, Doctors Without Borders) with major medical institutions and local social service/food-security groups, plus targeted support for Jewish social services and veteran-family care. Grants are typically sizable and unrestricted, suggesting trust in grantee leadership to allocate funds where most needed.
Goldberg Family Foundation 159-48576810 makes repeated seven-figure unrestricted gifts to a small group of humanitarian, medical, and Jewish community organizations. The largest grant in the recent record is $2,000,000 to Partners in Health, and the foundation also backed Jewish Social Service Agency with $1,500,000 in 2024. That pattern fits a broader portfolio built around flexible support for groups working in global emergency response, refugee assistance, cancer care, food security, and family services. The foundation’s recent grants include multiple awards to the same organizations across 2023 through 2025, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center received three $1,000,000 grants in the record, while International Rescue Committee, Doctors Without Borders USA, and World Central Kitchen each appear more than once. The grants are unrestricted, so recipients are receiving funds without a stated project-specific restriction in the grant record. Alongside major institutions, the foundation also supports community-based organizations such as So Others Might Eat Inc and Martha S Table.
In global health and emergency medical response, the foundation gave $2,000,000 to Partners in Health for an unrestricted gift and also awarded $1,000,000 to Doctors Without Borders USA for the same purpose. Humanitarian relief and refugee services show up through a $1,000,000 unrestricted grant to International Rescue Committee, with that organization appearing multiple times in the recent record. Food security is another clear theme: World Central Kitchen received $1,000,000 in 2025 and $500,000 in 2024, while Capital Area Food Bank received $1,000,000 in 2025 and $250,000 in 2023. The foundation also supports Jewish social services, including a $1,500,000 unrestricted gift to Jewish Social Service Agency.
Typical awards are large: the grant-size distribution is p25 $250,000, median $500,000, and p75 $1,000,000. The record shows recurring support rather than one-off giving, with several organizations appearing in multiple years, including repeated awards in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Grants are listed as unrestricted gifts, indicating flexible support rather than project-restricted funding. The foundation is a regular funder and does not make program-related investments or fund individuals.
