Activities that qualify for a Golden Grant include arts and crafts programs, education initiatives, mentorship and empowerment programs, after-school programs, community service outreach, sporting programs, technology and COVID-19 relief efforts. Activities and programs must be executed by Dec. 31, 2022 in one of the counties listed on www.goldengrantsfl.com. Miami-Dade County is included.

“The hard work of teachers and community leaders on behalf of our students is immensely appreciated.
