Goodman Foundation Closes After 15 Years | Madison News
Description
After 15 years of quietly transforming Madison, the Goodman Foundation is closing its doors on August 31 — but not without leaving a legacy etched in every park, pool, and library they funded. With over $67 million poured into the community, their impact is everywhere. The shutdown was part of a long-planned exit, made possible by early windfall gains that allowed them to give generously without hesitation. Known for their humble, family-driven philanthropy, Bob and Irwin Goodman treated giving as core to their business, empowering local organizations with a decade-long transition plan. Now, as they step aside, they’re hopeful others will rise to carry their torch — because the real gift? It’s already built into the city’s soul.
