Tom's Palms is a 501(c)3 named after founder Tammy Broselow's late father, they strive to always lend a helping hand to those in need.

In the years since, the nonprofit has grown into an organization of volunteers who dedicate themselves and their time to the mission.

"RAW Giving has saved and improved the lives of so many beautiful humans, including those in my own backyard. I subscribe to the belief that the only wealth you truly keep is the wealth you give away, and I couldn't be more proud of what we are doing for our community and beyond," said Kesselman.

Launched by RAW founder Josh Kesselman, RAW Giving is not a 501c tax-exempt organization, meaning it does not accept donations; all contributions go directly to organizations selected by Kesselman, who truly believes in giving back to the community.
