Craig Goldenfarb, founder and CEO of GOLDLAW in West Palm Beach, has donated $100,000 to 65 nonprofit organizations in Palm Beach County.
The donation, known as the GOLDEN 100, was announced at the Nonprofit Chamber for Health and Human Services' Nonprofit Leadership Summit on Oct. 1 at Manatee Lagoon in West Palm Beach, according to a community announcement.
Goldenfarb presented a $20,000 donation to the Nonprofit Chamber of Palm Beach County Board of Directors. Four other nonprofits — Resource Depot, Bella’s Angels, Child Rescue Coalition and Inner City Innovators — each received a $5,000 grant. The remaining 60 nonprofits received a $1,000 donation each.
“If you make money and help the world, to me that’s a meaningful life,” Goldenfarb said,
according to the announcement. “Palm Beach County nonprofits show up for our neighbors every single day, often with limited resources and unlimited heart. The GOLDEN 100 is our way of investing directly in the people and programs that make this community stronger. We are honored to support these 65 organizations and to serve as the presenting sponsor of this year's Nonprofit Leadership Summit. We hope the GOLDEN 100 inspires other local businesses to invest in the organizations that lift our community.”
Ice cream truck serves free treats
GOLDLAW’s Sweet Justice Ice Cream Truck was on-site to serve free ice cream to guests. The truck delivers free ice cream to nonprofit events, local first responders and South Florida residents throughout the year.
The annual summit serves as a professional development opportunity for nonprofit executives. It brought together nonprofit leaders, board members and community stakeholders from across Palm Beach County to strengthen leadership skills and foster meaningful connections that support the region's nonprofit sector.
