Vision
We envision a just nation in which all people—regardless of race, class, gender, or geographic origin—have equal opportunity to lead meaningful and prosperous lives.
Values
The Richard W. Goldman Foundation focuses on promoting justice and equality within and across communities it seeks to serve. Our guiding principle of giving is to lift our society by lifting the less advantaged.
Open ears and minds
We strive to always listen to and respect the views of those around us and within the organization itself.
Integrity and Transparency
We will conduct ourselves with integrity and transparency, striving always to achieve the highest standards of conduct.
Focus
We seek to make a difference: to focus our giving on organizations that affirmatively support our vision and mission through innovation and creativity.
Enhance our family’s legacy
We seek to continue and enhance our family’s legacy to create a more just, healthy, and equal world. We also want to honor our father’s memory to create a greater bond among us and spread his core values: humility, honesty, integrity, and justice.
Continuously learn
We are committed to learning continuously about ourselves, our values, and the world, and to contributing to the world’s knowledge base to help underserved people.
