(Press Release) ​Boca Raton, FL (November 11, 2025) – Men Giving Back South Palm Beach County, a Boca Raton-based membership organization supporting nonprofits throughout South Palm Beach County, awarded over half a million dollars to local charities during its 2025 Golden Grants Evening on November 5, 2025. Over 200 members, nonprofit nominees, and invited guests of Men Giving Back gathered at the Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club for the 5th annual event, enjoying live music, top-shelf cocktails, and dinner as they honored representatives of the 12 charities selected as finalists for this year’s major grants.

More than 130 local nonprofits applied for the annual grant program, and after meticulous reviews and site visits by Men Giving Back’s grants committee, 24 semifinalists were chosen. In May, FAU Head Football Coach Zach Kittley randomly drew 12 finalists’ names, and each were invited to attend the Golden Grants Evening. 

During the event, four Major Grant awards winners, totaling nearly $400,000, were chosen randomly by spinning the Men Giving Back’s ‘Wheel of Giving.’ The remaining finalist charities each received a grant in the amount of $12,500, while semifinalist charities grants totaled $30,000 for the year. To date, Men Giving Back grants and member gifts have exceeded $3.5 million since its inception in 2020. 
 
“It’s hard to put into words the sense of joy and purpose we feel as a group, being able to support so many incredible charities,” said Dr. Nathan Nachlas, founding member of Men Giving Back. “Hearing their stories and seeing the difference they make in our community every day reminds us why we do this. It’s truly an honor to stand behind their missions.”
