Great Charity Challenge
sponsored by Fidelity Investments®

- $2.25 million to be distributed to Palm Beach County Charities -

With a focus on empowering our local communities, the Great Charity Challenge sponsored by Fidelity Investments® (GCC) is an exciting show jumping event that blends equestrian sports and philanthropy, bringing hope to over 50 Palm Beach County charities every year. Founded following the 2008 economic crisis, as a way to increase funding to local non-profits, the 2024 edition distributed a record-breaking $2.25 million to Palm Beach County non-profits.

The GCC encourages non-profits to take a sustainable approach by awarding unrestricted funding, giving non-profits the ability to choose exactly how the grant will be best utilized to align with their long-term strategy. A minimum of 75% of all distributed funds is guaranteed to remain and serve local communities. Donations were released upon a thorough review of their intended fund use plans (click here to view the compiled file); complementary quarterly reports also update donors and the community at large of the progress/achievements being made locally.
