The Morris & Arlene Goldfarb Family Foundation concentrates its giving on Jewish community priorities—particularly Israeli emergency/medical support and local Jewish education—while also supporting international child welfare through intermediaries. Grants are relatively few but sizable, often routed through donor-advised or grantmaking vehicles to achieve broader impact. The foundation favors organizations that provide emergency medical services, Jewish communal programs, and children-focused humanitarian aid.
A $140,000 grant to American Friends of Magen David Adom in 2025 anchors Morris & Arlene Goldfarb Family Foundation Inc’s recent giving and points to a clear preference for Jewish communal and emergency-response causes. The foundation’s recent grants also include support for Belev Echad Inc, American Jewish Committee, United Jewish Appeal-federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York Inc, and Hadassah the Womens Zionist Organization of America Inc, showing a pattern of backing organizations tied to Jewish life, advocacy, and services. Alongside those priorities, the foundation has funded humanitarian and child-focused work through Save the Children Federation Inc and Childhelp Inc, and has made smaller grants to cultural and community institutions such as Museum at Eldridge Street and Manhattan Jewish Experience Synagogue. The grant list suggests a donor that favors exempt-function support rather than restricted project funding, using grants to reinforce the operating capacity of nonprofits working in emergency medical care, Jewish education and outreach, international child welfare, and related community services. Its giving is broad in subject matter but consistently centered on nonprofit infrastructure that can deliver direct services.
Emergency medical support is one of the clearest themes in the foundation’s portfolio. In 2025, it gave $140,000 to American Friends of Magen David Adom to aid the organization in carrying out its exempt functions, and in 2023 it also awarded $10,250 to American Friends of Magen David. Jewish communal organizations appear repeatedly as well: Belev Echad Inc received $50,000 in 2025, while American Jewish Committee received $25,000 in 2025 and $10,000 in 2023. The foundation also backed Jewish federation and Zionist-linked institutions, including $20,000 to United Jewish Appeal-federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York Inc in 2025 and $10,000 to Hadassah the Womens Zionist Organization of America Inc in 2024. Humanitarian and child welfare work shows up through $50,000 to Save the Children Federation Inc in 2023 and $15,000 plus $11,000 to Childhelp Inc across 2024 and 2023.
Typical grant size is small relative to the largest awards: the p25 is $100, the median is $200, and the p75 is $1,062. That distribution fits a pattern of many modest grants alongside a few larger support grants. The foundation’s recent record also shows repeat giving to the same organizations across multiple years, including American Friends of the Peres Institute for Peace Inc, Childhelp Inc, American Jewish Committee, and Ronald Mcdonald House New York. The grants are framed as support to help donee organizations carry out their exempt functions, which indicates broad organizational support rather than tightly specified project funding. The foundation is a family foundation, not a fund that makes program-related investments or grants to individuals.
