Meninak attracts outstanding citizens and leaders from the area’s top business, professional, military and civic organizations, and it has long been a catalyst for networking among community leaders, and it provides a forum to help shape the future of the Jacksonville and Northeast Florida community. Meninak’s mission of “lending help where none is available” inspires the organization’s commitment to the youth of our community and provides a focus for all our activities.

Meninak members are actively involved their community and often take leadership roles in many of the area's non-profit and civic improvement organizations. Meninak and its members have contributed millions of dollars and countless hours of service to the Jacksonville community.

Since 1934 Meninak has sponsored an Annual Charity Project each year. Members seek out area programs that are vital to meeting the needs of Northeast Florida’s young people. One program is selected to receive a grant of at least $30,000 to support the program’s capital improvement needs.

Since 1997 Meninak has awarded five $5000 Youth Leadership Grants each year.

Meninak selects recipients based upon leadership potential, character, academic achievement and financial need.
