The Eric and Tamar Goldstein Foundation is primarily focused on Jewish life, education, and Israel-related causes, concentrating support on day schools, campus Jewish life, national Jewish federations, and Israeli nonprofits. Their giving favors organizations that sustain Jewish identity and leadership across New York and Israel—ranging from private Jewish day schools and yeshivot to Birthright/educational Israel initiatives and communal federations. Many grants are repeat awards to the same institutions, indicating long-term relationships and core institutional support rather than one-off project funding.
The Eric and Tamar Goldstein Foundation’s giving is anchored by repeated support for Jewish institutions, with the largest recent award going to UJA-Federation of New York at $270,000 in 2025. That pattern sits alongside steady backing for Jewish day schools, campus Jewish life, Israel engagement, and communal federations. The foundation’s recent grants show a clear preference for organizations that support Jewish education and identity at different stages, from school-age learning to campus programming and broader communal infrastructure. Long-running recipients help define the picture. The Frisch School received $100,000 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025, while Birthright Israel Foundation received $60,000 in each of those same years. Other recurring support appears for Covenant and Conversation Corp, Columbia College, Manhattan Day School, American Israel Education Foundation, and American Friends of Leket Israel. These grants suggest a funding approach built around sustained institutional relationships rather than isolated one-time awards. The foundation also supports organizations tied to Israeli education, humanitarian aid, and Jewish learning resources, including NLI USA Inc - the National Library of Israel, Sefaria Inc, and Yeshiva University. Across the recent grants list, the same themes appear again and again: Jewish continuity, education, leadership development, and communal support.
In Jewish education, the foundation gave $100,000 to The Frisch School in 2025 for general charitable purposes, matching the same amount it awarded that school in 2023 and 2024. It also supported Manhattan Day School with $36,000 in 2025 and $36,000 in 2024, and gave $25,000 to Yeshiva University in 2023. Campus Jewish life is another visible thread. The Eric and Tamar Goldstein Foundation granted $36,000 to Kraft Center for Jewish Life Dba Columbiabarnard Hillel in 2025, and it gave $43,000 to Columbiabarnard Hillel in 2023. Columbia College also appears in the grant list with $50,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2024. Israel-related work receives consistent backing as well. Birthright Israel Foundation received $60,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The foundation also gave $36,000 to American Israel Education Foundation Inc in 2025 and supported American Friends of Leket Israel with $36,000 in 2025.
