The Angel and Aaron Goldman Family Foundation concentrates its giving into a very small number of large grants, providing recurring, general operating support to a core nonprofit (Open Doors Solutions) and making targeted emergency support to Jewish communal relief efforts. Their grants emphasize flexible, unrestricted funding for organizations they trust and occasional directed gifts to Jewish emergency medical/humanitarian campaigns. The foundation appears to favor long-term relationships over broad, one-off giving.
The Angel and Aaron Goldman Family Foundation gives through a small set of large, recurring grants, with Open Doors Solutions Inc in Atlanta receiving three consecutive annual awards of $170,371 in 2023, $166,667 in 2024, and $167,530 in 2025. That pattern points to a foundation that favors sustained support for trusted organizations rather than broad, one-time distribution. Its other recent awards show a strong tilt toward Jewish communal relief, emergency response, and targeted capacity-building for organizations serving local and international needs. The foundation’s grant list also includes a $100,000 emergency campaign grant to the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta for United Hatzalah and Magen David Adom, plus a $50,000 award to the same federation for the Jewish Innovation Fund and Partners Fund. Those gifts sit alongside recurring operating support to Open Doors Solutions, suggesting a mix of unrestricted core funding and directed response giving. Additional grants reach Atlanta-area housing and family-support groups, Jewish education and camping organizations, and selected Israel-focused intermediaries. The overall picture is of a family foundation that concentrates on organizations it knows and funds them in repeated, purposeful ways.
Housing stability appears as one of the foundation’s practical funding themes. In 2025, it gave $50,000 to United Way of Greater Atlanta Inc for Zaban Paradies Center, Intown Cares, Mary Hall Freedom House, Motel to Home, and Center for Family Resources, and it had already supported United Way of Greater Atlanta in 2023 with $25,000 for Motels to Home fund, Center for Family Resources fund and Mary Hall Freedom Village fund. Jewish emergency relief is another clear thread. The foundation awarded $100,000 to Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta Inc for an emergency campaign supporting United Hatzalah and Mogen David Adom, and it also gave $18,000 to Hercenberg Mitzvah Mission Congregation for IDF Widow and Family Support FUND. Education and youth support show up through direct school and scholarship funding, including $20,000 to Cliff Valley School Incorporated for the Jennifer Marzano Scholarship Fund in both 2024 and 2025, as well as $15,000 to Foundation for Jewish Camp Inc for General & Unrestricted.

Typical awards are modest to mid-sized, with a p25 of $2,897, a median grant of $5,000, and a p75 of $10,000. The distribution is shaped by a few much larger recurring commitments, especially the repeated support to Open Doors Solutions Inc and several six-figure or high five-figure gifts. The grant file shows multi-year repetition across recipients such as Open Doors Solutions Inc, Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta Inc, United Way of Greater Atlanta Inc, P E F Israel Endowment Funds Inc, Birthright Israel Foundation, Rally Foundation Inc, and Cliff Valley School Incorporated. That indicates relationship-based, repeated giving rather than one-off awards. The foundation is a family foundation, and the recent grants include both general and unrestricted support and directed campaign funding.
Grantmaking is regional and concentrated in the Southeast, especially Atlanta. Atlanta recipients include Open Doors Solutions Inc, Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta Inc, United Way of Greater Atlanta Inc, Cliff Valley School Incorporated, Our House Inc, and Hebrew Benevolent Congregation the Temple.
