Our Story

Road to Recovery transports sick Palestinians - mostly children - to Israeli hospitals for treatment.

Founded in 2008, under the direction of Naomi Eisenberger, The Good People Fund provides financial support and management guidance for small to medium grassroots efforts devoted to tikkun olam (repairing the world).

We connect donors with inspiring visionaries who, operating with low overhead and on a personal scale, have developed creative ways to alleviate poverty, hunger, disability, trauma recovery, social isolation and other significant challenges-but whose work would otherwise go unsupported.

Most of our grantees are based in the U.S. and Israel, but our Good People reach out to communities beyond, as well. We target highly effective nonprofits headed by dynamic Good People, usually with annual budgets under $500,000, and little or no staff.

In keeping with our philosophy that the vast majority of donor dollars should support those being served, we maintain a lean operating budget. Salaries for our small staff are underwritten, as are a significant proportion of other operating costs
