This Brooklyn-based foundation concentrates its giving on Jewish communal priorities, combining direct social service support with political/advocacy funding tied to Israel. It makes a small number of fairly large grants — often repeat awards to the same organizations — supporting workforce placement for family breadwinners, pro‑settlement/sovereignty advocacy concerning Judea and Samaria, and general Jewish communal health and welfare.
A $170,000 grant to Aim Hire Inc. shows the Joseph and Margareta Goldzal Charitable Foundation Inc. backing workforce placement for people who are trying to support families while searching for stable careers. That grant sits at the top of a small set of large awards, and the same recipient appears again in 2025 with a $150,000 grant, indicating repeated support for the same employment model. The foundation’s giving also reaches into Jewish communal and Israel-related priorities, with grants that pair direct service with advocacy. In 2025, it gave $75,000 to American Friends of Julea and Samaria for public education on Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria, and $50,000 to Gumley Chesed for health and wellbeing work. Smaller grants in the recent record go to cancer support and sick-care services for Jewish community members in New York. Across these awards, the pattern is focused and selective: a few grants, each at meaningful size, tied to named organizations and specific purposes.
Workforce placement is a central theme. The foundation awarded $170,000 to Aim Hire Inc. in 2024 and $150,000 in 2025 to facilitate job placement for people who are struggling to find a career while facing financial responsibilities to support a family. It also funds Jewish communal health and welfare work. In 2025, Gumley Chesed received $50,000 to promote health and wellbeing of all people. Health-related support extends to cancer and sickness relief as well: Rofen Cholim Cancer Society received $4,500 for critical support for cancer patients and their families, including life-saving treatments, and Bikur Cholim of Staten Island received $3,500 to relieve the effects of sickness, poor physical and mental health, and old age through support, facilities, and services. A separate track of giving supports education and advocacy around Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.
The recent awards are tightly clustered around a single grant size: the p25, median, and p75 are all $170,000. That points to a small number of large, deliberate grants rather than a broad spread of award sizes. The record also shows repeat support to the same organization across years, with Aim Hire Inc. appearing in both 2024 and 2025. The foundation does not fund individuals and makes no program-related investments in the provided data. Its giving is local in scope, and every listed grant goes to a New York recipient.

All recent grants in the dataset went to recipients in the United States, with 100% of awards landing in New York. New York City recipients include Aim Hire Inc. and Gumley Chesed, while Brooklyn recipients include Gumley Chesed and Rofen Cholim Cancer Society. Bikur Cholim of Staten Island adds another New York location, extending the pattern beyond Brooklyn into Staten Island. The only out-of-state recipient listed is American Friends of Julea and Samaria in Bayonne, New Jersey, but the funding still reflects a New York-centered giving pattern.
Its recent grants show three main areas: workforce placement for people supporting families while seeking careers, Jewish communal health and welfare services, and advocacy or public education related to Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria. The record also includes cancer support and sick-care services for Jewish community members.
Yes. Aim Hire Inc. appears in both 2024 and 2025, with grants of $170,000 and $150,000 for the same job-placement purpose. That pattern suggests the foundation does support recurring relationships rather than only one-time awards.
The grant-size distribution is very concentrated: p25, median, and p75 are each $170,000. That means the listed awards are built around a small number of large grants rather than a wide range of amounts.
The recent record is entirely New York-centered. The top state by grant count is New York, and 100% of the listed grants go to recipients in the HQ state. Recipients include organizations in New York, Brooklyn, and Staten Island, with one grant to Bayonne, New Jersey.
