What We Do

How We Give
Men Giving Back grant awards support organizations with a focus aligned to our stated causes:
  • Children
  • Education
  • Mental Health
  • Food Security
Our Grant Methodology
  1. Charitable organizations will be considered 'qualified' if they meet the following criteria:
    1. Operate in and primarily benefit South Palm Beach County.
    2. Have been in existence and serving South Palm Beach County residents for at least five years.
    3. Have an operating budget of at least $200,000 a year.
    4. Fulfill one or more of our stated causes.
    5. Is not considered a 'faith-based organization'.
  2. Grant submissions should reflect a readily identified MGB project or deliverable which contains milestones that are readily understood and quantifiable.
  3. Grant applications will be available online beginning in the first quarter of each calendar year.
  4. Grant submissions will be evaluated by the Men Giving Back Grant Committee based on the listed criteria and the strength of the proposed project or deliverables.
  5. Semifinalist organizations will be selected by the Grant Committee, notified by the receipt of a Men Giving Back ‘Golden Ball’ with their organization’s name inscribed, and invited to attend the November award ceremony, known as the Golden Grants Evening.
  6. At the event, representatives from the semifinalist organizations drop their golden ball into a “cage” similar to what you would see at a lottery drawing.
  7. 12 lucky organizations will have their golden ball drawn from the cage and become eligible to win one of the evening’s major grant awards, up to $100,000.
  8. All organizations attending the event walk away with grant money, divided across three tiers, semi-finalists, finalists, and major grant winners.
  9. Any organization receiving a major grant will not be eligible for the major grant for the following two years.
