The Goldseker Foundation paid for the study of elderly in Upper Park Heights that eventually led to the Weinberg senior housing facilities. The money, of course, has been instrumental. However, Sheldon Goldseker said his family has tried to keep a low profile and does not want public accolades. However, he does hope the foundation is looked upon as instrumental to the professionalism of our area foundations. “When we started out, grant making wasn’t very professional,� he said. “In some ways, we are like the silent philanthropists, because it is not about publicity but about pioneering philanthropy, being professional and helping Baltimore and the people of Baltimore.� Now, as Dr. Armbruster is stepping down, Sheldon Goldseker said he is confident that while the CEO of 34 years will be missed, his replacement will be able to step in and continue the Goldseker legacy. “It will be someone who has the expertise and the leadership skills to do the job,� said Sheldon Goldseker. “Each new person brings new ideas and new approaches, and we will be open to that.� JT

Each year, the Goldseker Foundation distributes between $3 million and $4 million. Among its most wellknown gifts are those granted to the Baltimore Community Foundation, which it has helped grow from a one-trust, $2.5 million foundation in the mid-1970s to a foundation of roughly 500 trusts and around $150 million. Also, it was instrumental in the formation of the Association of Baltimore Area Grantmakers, of which Sheldon Goldseker was the first president.
