Our Mission:

Many people work quietly and diligently, often below the radar screen and with shoe-string budgets, to better our world in untold numbers of ways. It is to these people, small entities or individuals whose efforts don’t benefit from glossy brochures or promotions, or help from adequate staff or large organizational structures, that we direct our attention. Their success is our mission — by making them and their work visible and viable to others who will provide needed funding through tzedakah that is given in a cost-effective and meaningful way. One might call those that do this work social entrepreneurs or tzadikim (the righteous ones). We choose to call them simply good people.

Founded by a diverse group inspired by the work of Danny Siegel, founder of the Ziv Tzedakah Fund, including and led by Naomi Eisenberger, Ziv's former Managing Director, The Good People Fund is about both the good people who work selflessly on behalf of others, and also the good people who contribute time, money and energy to help that work become a reality.

The Good People Fund will …

  • Support the work of good people in the US and Israel who are changing the world in ways both big and small.

  • Introduce you to good people you may not know.

  • Maintain low overhead with all salaries covered only by specified donations.

  • Operate with a minimum of bureaucracy and with total transparency.

  • Conduct appropriate diligence and monitor results, to assure that all donations will do a maximum of good.


The Good People Fund…acting on your behalf, touches the lives of people around the globe, while preserving the dignity of all involved. Please share in the joy of making a difference in such a personal way.

Stories…The Good People Fund is really all about stories… stories that share the goodness within each of us and the way that goodness can change the world, bit by bit. Over the years that we have been involved in this very special work, people have often commented, “I wish I could sit at your desk…you must get such a “high” as you go about your work each day, meeting the most extraordinary people, making miracles happen—.”
It is a high…so — sit next to me and “see” what goes on…you might even catch the feeling yourself.
