The Nancy L and John Goldsmith Family Foundation concentrates its modest grantmaking on place-based human services and environmental conservation, primarily in Idaho despite being based in Florida. Grants are sizable relative to their total giving, focused on a small set of repeat recipients, and provided as non-restricted operating support.
Concentrated, small portfolio: four grants totaling $80,000 directed to two repeat grantees. Awards are relatively large per grant and typically non-restricted, indicating preference for core operating support to a few place-based organizations.
Notable grantees: Blaine County Hunger Coalition, The Nature Conservancy in Idaho
The Nancy L and John Goldsmith Family Foundation’s clearest pattern is repeat, non-restricted support for a small circle of place-based nonprofits, especially in Idaho’s Wood River and Blaine County communities. The largest recent grants went to Blaine Co Hunger Coalition in Bellevue, Idaho, at $25,000 in both 2023 and 2024, paired with $15,000 awards to The Nature Conservancy in Idaho in those same years. That combination points to a funder that supports both basic-needs work and land conservation, while keeping the grants flexible. The foundation also backs health and well-being organizations serving the same region, including Hospice and Palliative Care of the Wood River Valley, NAMI of Wood River Valley, and the American Cancer Society Great West Blaine County Unit. In Florida, where the foundation is headquartered, it has also made grants to Nassau-area charities such as Nassau Council on Aging, Coalition for the Homeless of Nassau County, Nassau Humane Society, Keep Nassau Beautiful, and NAMI Nassau County Florida Inc. All listed recent grants are non-restrictive, and the recipient set shows a mix of long-running local support and occasional giving beyond Idaho.
Hunger relief is a visible priority. The foundation gave $25,000 to Blaine Co Hunger Coalition in Bellevue, Idaho, in both 2023 and 2024, and then added a $10,000 grant to the same organization in 2025. That repeated support aligns with its place-based focus in Blaine County. Land and habitat conservation is another clear area. The Nature Conservancy in Idaho received $15,000 in 2023 and $15,000 in 2024, while Wood River Land Trust received $10,000 in 2023, $10,000 in 2024, and $5,000 in 2025. The same conservation thread appears in a $5,000 grant to Wallkill Valley Land Trust in New Paltz, New York. Health-related nonprofits also appear regularly. Grants went to Hospice and Palliative Care of the Wr Valley in Ketchum, Idaho, and to American Foundation for Suicide Prevention in New York, New York, across multiple years.
Typical grants cluster in a relatively narrow range: p25 is $1,700, median grant size is $5,000, and p75 is $10,000. The recent record also shows a few larger awards at $15,000 and $25,000, but most gifts sit at the smaller end of that band. The pattern is repeated support rather than one-time experimentation: several organizations appear in more than one year, including Blaine Co Hunger Coalition, The Nature Conservancy in Idaho, Wood River Land Trust, Wallkill Valley Land Trust, and American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The foundation’s grantmaking is non-restrictive, and the recent grants are all operating-style support rather than project-specific awards.

Grant recipients are almost entirely in the United States, with 47 grants and 100% of the recent record in the U.S. Idaho is the main giving state by count, with recipients in Bellevue, Hailey, Ketchum, Boise, and the broader Wood River Valley. Florida also receives a meaningful share through Fernandina Beach, Yulee, and Nassau County organizations. Outside those two states, the foundation has given to New York recipients in New Paltz and New York, New York, and a California recipient in Irvine.
Its recent grants concentrate on hunger relief, land and habitat conservation, and health-related nonprofits. Examples include repeated support for Blaine Co Hunger Coalition in Bellevue, Idaho; The Nature Conservancy in Idaho; and hospice, cancer, and mental-health organizations in the Wood River Valley and Nassau County.
The recent grants are non-restrictive across the list provided. That points to flexible operating support rather than project-only funding.
The grant-size distribution is compact: p25 is $1,700, median is $5,000, and p75 is $10,000. Most recent awards fall at $5,000 or $10,000, with a smaller number at $15,000 and $25,000.
Yes. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including Blaine Co Hunger Coalition in 2023, 2024, and 2025; The Nature Conservancy in Idaho in 2023 and 2024; and Wood River Land Trust in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
Idaho is the top state by grant count. Recent recipients are especially concentrated in Bellevue, Hailey, Ketchum, and Boise, with additional grants in Fernandina Beach, Yulee, New Paltz, New York City, and Irvine.
