Give Miami Day
Give Miami Day is an annual giving movement uniting community-serving organizations – big and small, new and established – to celebrate and increase generosity in Greater Miami through online giving. Give Miami Day helps raise awareness about the critical role these organizations play in our community and inspires all of us to discover and give to causes we care about. Together, we are creating a thriving and stronger Miami for all.
