The following email was sent to HGF programmatic and strategic partners on Friday, April 24, 2026.
To our partners,
I am writing with bittersweet news. After 12 wonderful years as president of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, I will be retiring from my active professional role. It has been an incredible honor to work closely with you to create meaningful connections to Jewish life and support vibrant Jewish community.
Happily, this is not a goodbye. I will help guide the foundation’s strategic direction as chair of the board of trustees. I will continue to play an active role in helping to advance Harold’s vision forward. And I will remain in my current role at the foundation until we appoint the next president.
In the meantime, our work continues: From the board to our professional leadership and staff, our entire team is well equipped to support the continued stewardship of the foundation and advancement of its flagship programs. We look forward to being in touch when there is news to share.
Harold and I want to express our thanks to every one of you, our wonderful partners, for being on this journey with us.
Shabbat Shalom,
Winnie Sandler Grinspoon, President
Harold Grinspoon, Founder
