Introducing Charitable

Each year, Broward’s most committed philanthropists shape the region in ways that rarely make headlines. Charitable brings their work into focus. Published annually by Lifestyle Media Group, it is the county’s only guide to the nonprofits defining local philanthropy and the people whose generosity sustains them.

Inside, readers find Broward’s impressive calendar directory of nonprofit organizations, from the established institutions anchoring the community to the emerging efforts quietly filling its gaps. Each listing goes beyond the basics, offering the context and detail that help readers give with purpose and connect with causes that reflect their values. 

But Charitable is more than a directory. It also profiles the philanthropists and community leaders driving meaningful change across South Florida, capturing not just what they give but why — the values, vision, and relationships that make South Florida generosity possible. These are the people building the region from the inside out, and Charitable is where their stories are told. Readers will find a trusted companion in these pages, one that presents the full scope of  philanthropic landscape. 

Charitable is giving approached as part of a life well lived, written for readers who are as thoughtful about their philanthropy as they are about everything else.
