Goldhirsh Foundation

The Goldhirsh Foundation was established by Bernard A. Goldhirsh in 2000, shortly after he was diagnosed with brain cancer. Since his death in 2003, the Board of Directors of the Foundation (which includes his two children) has been shaping a grantmaking program that reflects his values and entrepreneurial spirit. We are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of people touched by the organizations and projects we support. Benjamin Goldhirsh, Bernard's son, serves on the board of the Goldhirsh Foundation, and is also a board member of Millenium Promise, The National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship, and The Collaboration Foundation, a non-profit organization that will provide oversight for The 1 Second Film and the various non-profit sequels. Ben is the owner and founder of Reason Pictures and GOOD Magazine. The effort of these companies is to create media products existing at the intersection of entertainment and relevance.
