What Spirit of Giving does

Spirit of Giving Network, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 65-0765570) headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, that operates as a collaborative forum for nonprofit organizations serving Palm Beach County. Founded in 2001, the organization functions as a capacity-building intermediary: it convenes 95+ nonprofit member organizations through monthly meetings and collaborative training workshops, coordinates signature community events including Back to School PBC! (serving 10,000+ students annually), the Holiday Gift Drive (serving 7,000+ children annually through 70+ nonprofit partners), and the Community Spirit Race (2,000+ participants), and serves as the Official Charity Partner of the RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl. Lindy Harvey serves as Executive Director and Ron Nyhan as President of the Board of Directors.

The organization's product surface consists of nonprofit membership ($200 annual renewal with a $200 sign-up fee), signature community programs, a background screening service for volunteers and partners, and collaborative training workshops delivered alongside partners such as Junior League of Boca Raton, Impact 100 Palm Beach County, and the Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce Nonprofit Council. There is no proprietary technology platform; the operating model is event-driven and relationship-driven rather than software-driven. The organization maintains a Charity Navigator Four-Star Rating and GuideStar Transparency Seal, and was nominated for the Community Collaborators Award at Nonprofits First's 7th Annual Hats Off Awards in October 2023.

Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring nonprofit membership dues, one-time event ticket sales and corporate sponsorships (including the Great Chefs Tailgate Showcase at $40-$50 per attendee), and monetary and in-kind donations. The customer base is exclusively Palm Beach County-based nonprofits, supplemented by individual donors, corporate sponsors, and government partners including the Palm Beach County Office of Community Revitalization, Children's Services Council, and the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. Geographic scope is regional, with no disclosed expansion outside Palm Beach County.
