About Goldsmith Family Foundation
A defining feature of The Goldsmith Family Foundation Inc is its concentration in Jewish communal infrastructure and Holocaust remembrance, with very large grants flowing to a small set of institutions. In 2025, the foundation gave $2,025,000 and $1,075,000 to The Associated in Baltimore, showing the scale of support it can direct to a single local federation. Its recent record also includes repeated support for the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, including multiple $200,000 grants across 2024 and 2025. That combination points to a funder that backs both local communal systems and national memory institutions. The same pattern appears across other grantees. Baltimore-area recipients such as Chizuk Amuno, Johns Hopkins University, Chai, and the JCC of Greater Baltimore sit alongside Masorti Fdn for Conservative Judaism in New York and Aspen-based Buddy Program grants. The foundation’s giving is regional, but it is not narrowly local: it reaches institutions tied to Jewish life, education, and public history in several places. Its grant list shows a preference for institutional support rather than many small awards, with repeated funding relationships evident in several years.
What Goldsmith Family Foundation Funds
Jewish communal infrastructure is a major theme in the foundation’s giving. It supported Chizuk Amuno in Baltimore with $186,000 in 2025, after prior grants of $89,700 in 2023 and $82,000 in 2024. The Associated in Baltimore also appears repeatedly, including grants of $125,000 in 2023 and $75,000 in 2024, in addition to the larger 2025 awards. Education and public programming show up through campus and community institutions. Johns Hopkins University received $125,000 in 2023 and $100,000 in 2024, followed by two $120,000 grants in 2025. The foundation also gave $35,000 in 2025 to Fund for Educational Excellence in Baltimore and $50,000 in 2023 to Teach for America in Baltimore. Holocaust remembrance remains another clear thread. The US Holocaust Memorial Museum received repeated $200,000 grants in 2024 and 2025, indicating sustained support for museum-based historical education and preservation.
How Goldsmith Family Foundation Gives
Typical grant size sits at $2,500 at the 25th percentile, $7,500 at the median, and $18,750 at the 75th percentile, but the recent grant list also shows much larger institutional awards. Giving is clearly recurring rather than one-off: The Associated, the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, Johns Hopkins University, Chizuk Amuno, Chai, and Masorti Fdn for Conservative Judaism all appear in multiple years. The foundation funds organizations rather than individuals and makes no program-related investments. The pattern suggests a family foundation-style portfolio with concentrated, repeat support for selected institutions.
