The Levin-Goffe Family Foundation concentrates its giving on a small number of sizable awards, primarily supporting education-related programming and a secondary interest in immigrant/LGBTQ community advocacy. The foundation shows a strong, repeat relationship with a single education nonprofit (Top Honors Incorporated) while also making a substantial one-off grant to Immigration Equality, indicating interest in legal/community supports for immigrants and LGBTQ people.
Highly concentrated: few, large grants with repeat giving to a single education grantee (Top Honors) and occasional sizable one-off gifts to advocacy organizations; favors targeted, program-level funding over many small awards.
A single education grant anchors the Levin-goffe Family Foundation’s recent giving: $275,000 to Top Honors Incorporated in 2023, followed by another $85,000 in 2024. That repeat support points to a foundation that backs education programming over multiple years rather than making isolated gifts. The pattern extends to college access and student-focused institutions, with awards to Trevor Day School, Queens College Foundation Inc, and Wesleyan University among the recent grants. The foundation also directs meaningful support to immigrant and LGBTQ community advocacy. Immigration Equality received $100,000 in 2024 and $15,000 in 2023, showing a sustained relationship with an organization serving LGBTQ immigrants and asylum seekers. Other community grants include LGBTQ Victory Institute, the Lesbian Gay Bisexual & Transgender Community Center, GMHC Health Services Inc, Lawyers for Children Inc, and Bowery Residents Committee Inc. Together, these gifts show a funder that concentrates on education, legal and community support, and locally rooted nonprofits. Its giving is selective rather than broad: the recent grants list shows a small set of relatively large awards, with New York City organizations appearing repeatedly across the portfolio.
Education is the clearest thread in the foundation’s recent grantmaking. Top Honors Incorporated received $275,000 in 2023 and $85,000 in 2024 for educational work, and the foundation also supported Trevor Day School with $25,000 in 2024 and $15,000 in 2023. Queens College Foundation Inc received $18,000 in 2024, while Wesleyan University received $15,000 in 2024. A second area is immigrant and LGBTQ support. Immigration Equality received $100,000 in 2024 and $15,000 in 2023 for community work, indicating an ongoing relationship with legal and support services for LGBTQ immigrants and asylum seekers. The foundation also gave $15,000 to LGBTQ Victory Institute in 2024. Community-based service organizations appear as well. Bowery Residents Committee Inc received $15,000 in 2024, and Lawyers for Children Inc received $2,000 in 2024, showing interest in direct service groups in New York.
The typical grant size is $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $15,000 at the median, and $23,250 at the 75th percentile. Recent giving includes both very large awards and a longer tail of smaller gifts, but the core pattern centers on mid-five-figure and low-five-figure grants. This is a regular funder rather than a DAF, and the recent grants show repeat support to the same organizations across years. Top Honors Incorporated and Immigration Equality each received grants in both 2023 and 2024, suggesting continuing relationships instead of one-time awards. The foundation also makes program-oriented gifts, with the existing data describing education-related programming, community rights, and capacity building.
