The Goldner Family Charity Foundation makes small, highly focused grants and appears to concentrate its giving almost exclusively on a single recipient, the TZUR Foundation. Grants are recorded as general charitable support rather than restricted program funding, suggesting the foundation prefers to provide flexible operating or discretionary support to an affiliated or preferred nonprofit. With only two grants and modest total giving, the foundation functions like a targeted family donor that concentrates resources rather than spreading them across many organizations.
Highly concentrated: repeated, modest-size gifts to a single grantee (TZUR Foundation); few grants overall and no diversification across sectors or geographies.
The Goldner Family Charity Foundation’s recent giving is defined by a concentrated relationship with Tzur Foundation, including a $30,000 grant in 2023 and a $21,800 grant in 2025. That pattern points to a funder that supports a small number of closely held or familiar nonprofits rather than distributing funds broadly. The foundation also made a $6,007 charitable grant to Various Individuals in Lakewood in 2025, alongside a long list of modest gifts to religious, charitable, and educational organizations. Its recipient list shows a strong preference for Jewish communal and educational institutions, with grants to congregations, kollels, yeshivas, and related charities in New York, New Jersey, and nearby communities. The foundation’s largest documented 2025 gifts after Tzur Foundation went to Cong Anshe Lake Forest, Mesamche Lev, Rav Chesed, and Shekel Hakodesh, all at relatively small-dollar levels compared with its largest awards. The overall picture is of a family charity that gives flexibly, often through charitable support rather than tightly restricted project funding, and keeps its grantmaking close to a narrow set of communities and organizations.
Education appears in the foundation’s grant list through support for Jewish learning institutions and study programs. In 2025, it gave $1,380 to Kolel Chibas Jerusalem in Brooklyn for educational support, $1,000 to Yeshiva Daas Aron in Lakewood for educational support, and $900 to Yeshiva Zichron Melech in Brooklyn for educational support. Religious and communal institutions are another clear strand. The foundation awarded $5,400 to Cong Anshe Lake Forest in Fallsburg for religious support, $2,000 to Cong Lev Avos in Lakewood for religious support, and $1,750 to Cong Birchas Menachem in Brooklyn for religious support. Charitable support also shows up in several Brooklyn-based organizations, including $3,480 to Rav Chesed in 2025, $3,600 to Bayis Lapeleitot in 2023 and another $1,800 in 2025, and $500 to Tomche Shabbos in 2023.
Typical grants are small: the p25 size is $100, the median is $360, and the p75 is $1,000. That distribution sits alongside a much larger pair of gifts to Tzur Foundation, showing a mix of one significant recurring relationship and many low-dollar awards. The same recipient names appear across multiple years, including Bayis Lapeleitot, Mesamche Lev, Rav Chesed, and Tzur Foundation, which suggests repeat support rather than one-time experimentation. The foundation is a family charity foundation, not an operating foundation or an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments. The grants are recorded as charitable, religious, or educational support, with several noted as general charitable support.
