About Goldman Family Foundation

About Goldman Family Foundation
The Goldman Family Foundation’s largest recent grant went to the Jewish Federation of Lehigh Valley for further Jewish education, and that pattern captures how the funder operates: concentrated support for Jewish learning, synagogue-linked outreach, and campus Jewish life. In the latest grants on file, its giving repeatedly backs institutions that sustain Jewish education at different stages, from community federation work in Allentown to Chabad-led programs and college-based organizations in New Orleans. The foundation also returns to some recipients across multiple years, which suggests relationship-based support rather than one-off awards. At the center of the portfolio are organizations that serve Jewish learners and community institutions in the Lehigh Valley, with additional grants reaching campus and youth settings. Valley Chabad appears multiple times in the recent record, and Tulane-based Jewish life is supported through both Chabad at Tulane and Tulane Hillel. Pinemere Camp also appears as a recipient, showing that summer and youth programming fit within the foundation’s education-focused giving. Across these grants, the common thread is direct program support for Jewish religious and educational infrastructure.
What Goldman Family Foundation Funds
Jewish education is the clearest throughline. The foundation gave $17,440 to Chabad at Tulane for further Jewish education and $8,000 to Tulane Hillel for the same purpose, indicating support for campus Jewish learning in New Orleans. In the Lehigh Valley, it backed Jewish Federation of Lehigh Valley with $11,650 in 2024 and $68,830 in 2025, both for further Jewish education. Youth and summer programming also appear in the record. Pinemere Camp received $8,750 in 2024 for further Jewish education, placing camp-based programming within the foundation’s priorities. Local Jewish family and community services are part of the mix as well. Jewish Family Service of the Lehigh Valley received $6,000 in 2023 and another $6,000 in 2024, both tied to further Jewish education, showing that education support extends beyond schools and campuses to community service institutions.
How Goldman Family Foundation Gives
The foundation’s typical grant size sits around $8,188 at the 25th percentile, $14,545 at the median, and $25,520 at the 75th percentile. Recent giving is small in number but relatively substantial in size, with one notably larger award and several mid-sized grants. The record also shows repeat support. Valley Chabad appears in three different years, Jewish Federation of Lehigh Valley appears in multiple years, and Jewish Family Service of the Lehigh Valley also receives repeated awards. That pattern points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time gifts. The foundation does not fund individuals or program-related investments.
