Founding Executive Director of The Good People Fund, Naomi assumed her role after more than 10 years as the Managing Director of the Ziv Tzedakah Fund. Her diverse background as a high school history teacher, kosher caterer and small business entrepreneur have prepared her well for the many hats she wears as GPF’s chief executive. Prior to her work at Ziv, Naomi and her husband ran a family retail business for 14 years. For the past 13 years, she has drawn on her extensive business and non-profit experience to help grantees build their own successful non-profit organizations.

Glenn was a lover of everything Broadway, the quintessential New Yorker who used Citi-Bikes with ease, master of the English language and the correct use of the em-dash, and so much more.

He was an amazing human being. He was sensitive, bright and professional in every way. He “got” the Good People Fund and told us many times how honored he was to work with us and our grantees. Glenn was family and as so many have commented, “he was a pure soul and a mensch.” Meeting our grantees opened up his huge and sensitive heart in so many ways.

There is a huge hole in our hearts right now and we are sure that it is the same for all our Good People Fund family. His words and his heart were an integral part of what we do each and every day.

May his memory be a blessing. He was a blessing to us.
