Men Giving Back Announces 2025 Golden Grants Finalists

Men Giving Back, a Boca Raton-based membership organization supporting nonprofits throughout South Palm Beach County, has announced that the organization is bringing in 12 local charities to its upcoming Golden Grants Evening, taking place on November 5. The selected groups provide services in one of four fields within Men Giving Back’s charitable focus areas, including mental health, children, education, and food security.

Initially, 24 semi finalists were notified of their selection upon receipt of the much-anticipated ‘Golden Ball,’ and all were invited to the Men Giving Back Spring Social at The Boca Raton hotel and beach resort in Boca Raton (501 E Camino Real).

During the event, FAU Head Football Coach Zach Kittley randomly drew the 12 finalists’ names who were announced on Tuesday, September 9.

All attending organizations will receive some funding on the evening of November 5, while a lucky few will receive a major grant worth up to $100,000. The total amount to be granted this year is expected to be approximately $500,000. In 2023, that number reached $530,000.

The 12 finalists for the 2025 Golden Grants Evening are: Achievement Centers for Children & Families (whioch is also the beneficiary of this year’s Kiwanis Delray Swing for Kids Charity Golf Classic in October), Bound for College, Caridad Center, Delray Beach Public Library, Faulk Center, Feeding Palm Beach County, Homesafe, In Jacob’s Shoes, Kindness Matters 365, Palm Beach County Food Bank, Speak Up for Kids, and Youth Environmental Alliance.

“As our organization continues to grow, the selection process becomes increasingly more competitive,” said Dr. Nathan Nachlas, a founding member of Men Giving Back and head of its Grant Committee. “We sincerely appreciate every organization that took the time to apply for a grant and the work they do in our community. We can’t wait to welcome our 12 finalists in November and see which of their proposed projects will be brought to life in our community.”
