“We created the Golden Grants program to champion the organizations that lift up our youth. It’s a privilege to help close these financial gaps so essential programs in sports, STEM, creative arts, and childcare can keep making a difference. ” Since its launch in 2020, the Golden Grants Program has awarded $164,000 to organizations across North Florida and South Georgia.
In 2025 alone, the program distributed $45,000 to 11 organizations. Among the recent recipients was WF Neighbors Feeding Neighbors, a nonprofit organization that provides nutritious food, essential resources, and community support to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity.
The program has also supported organizations such as IMPACT Youth Services, which focuses on addressing childhood trauma and promoting adolescent well-being. “Support from the McDonald’s Golden Grant makes these moments possible,” said Keke Lee, founder of IMPACT Youth Services, in the press release.
“Through mental wellness and youth development groups like this one, we are equipping young people with tools to build confidence, resilience, and hope—skills that extend far beyond the classroom and into their lives ahead. ” Applications for the 2026 Golden Grants Program will remain open through Oct. 9.
