The largest single-city giving event in the United States, Give Miami Day heads into its 14th year when the main event begins one minute past midnight on Thurs., Nov. 20. Early Giving starts Sat., Nov. 15 through Wed., Nov. 19. The main event begins one minute past midnight on Thurs., Nov. 20.
“Give Miami Day isn’t just a fundraiser for 1,000+ nonprofits serving Greater Miami,” says Rebecca Fishman Lipsey, president and CEO of The Miami Foundation, the host organization. “It’s the time when every single person in Miami steps forward for the causes they care about.”
Give Miami Day invites everyone to shape a better Miami through mass generosity. Donations start at just $25 and 100 percent of all donations go directly to nonprofits in categories that include food security, education, racial equity, housing, immigration, health and wellness, youth development, and more.
