IP TAKE: The foundation lacks transparency, which limits information available on its grantmaking priorities and activities. Grantseekers working in the Jewish causes space will need to network to get on this funder’s radar.
PROFILE: The Abraham and Mildred Goldstein Charitable Trust was established in 1997. It bears the name of the late Abraham Goldstein, chairman and leader of Society of Jewish Science, and his wife Mildred. The foundation is currently steered by several trustees, including Hirschell E. Levine, a partner of Withum, an accounting firm. The foundation does not maintain a website, which makes it difficult to locate further information on its priority areas and grantmaking strategies.
