The Goldin Foundation for Excellence in Education was established in 1990 as a private 501 (c) (3) non-profit foundation. Financial support has been solely provided by the Goldin family with contributions from family and friends. There have been no formal fundraising efforts. Overhead expenses are minimal, as the effort has been totally volunteer based. The emphasis has and will be on the Goldin Foundation's goals and activities of recognizing educators for their contributions in their classrooms, schools, and communities.

The Goldin Foundation has agreed to fund each successive group of school systems for a minimum of five years. It will continue to seek additional contributions to add to its perpetual endowment from sponsors in local communities and others interested in supporting education.

The Goldin Foundation for Excellence in Education accepts donations, which are tax deductible, to expand its efforts. For school, community, or family groups in other locales who are interested in funding and/or replicating the model, the Goldin Foundation is willing to provide materials and mentoring.
