The Goodman Family Foundation is a privately funded family foundation dedicated to supporting charitable organizations and public‑benefit initiatives. Operating as an independent grantmaker, it channels a portion of the family’s philanthropic resources into grants and donations that help nonprofits and community partners deliver programs, services and projects with lasting impact.
While specific priorities may evolve over time, the foundation typically focuses on providing financial support to established charitable organizations and qualified institutions rather than individuals. Its contributions can take the form of project grants, general operating support or targeted gifts that strengthen programs, capacity and infrastructure. Funding decisions are generally made at the discretion of the foundation’s trustees or family members, who review opportunities that align with the foundation’s values and philanthropic interests.
As a family foundation, it usually works with a selected group of charities, community organizations and institutions, often building long‑term relationships instead of running open, highly formalized public calls. Nevertheless, the foundation plays a clear role in the broader funding ecosystem by redistributing private wealth toward public purposes and complementing the work of government and other donors.
