Give Miami Day, November 16, 2023, is the largest day of generosity in South Florida, with over 1,200 organizations standing side by side to generate tens of millions of dollars in donations, fueling every issue area from education to the arts.
The online fundraiser hosted by The Miami Foundation kicks off November 13 with Early Giving and continues through November 15, before rolling into the signature 24-hour Give Miami Day event, November 16. When the celebration officially launches at 12:01 a.m., the landing page ticker will go live, tracking donations, number of donors, and volunteer commitments.
To mark this most important day of giving, nonprofits will host events, the Foundation will launch its Mission Control Center, and Miami landmarks will glow a signature Give-Miami-Day-purple, reminding everyone to love Miami with a donation and add to the total $145 million generated on this day over the past 12 years.
Donations support various nonprofit sectors: Animals, Arts and Culture, Community Care, Economic and Community Development, Education and Youth, Environment, Faith-based, Health and Wellness, Inclusion, and Human Rights, Advocacy and Civic Engagement.
“Seeing tens of thousands of people standing together to strengthen Miami truly makes this the best day of the year,” said Rebecca Fishman Lipsey, president and CEO of The Miami Foundation. “Whatever cause you care about, this is your day to show up, give back, and take shared ownership for the future of our community.”
To empower nonprofits to build capacity and strength, the Foundation set a lofty goal of increasing the number of donations this year to at least 100,000 – a nearly 20% increase over last year’s 83,000 donations.
