Give Miami Day One of the nation's biggest 24-hour annual giving events, Give Miami Day is an online campaign where all locals are philanthropists. This year -- as our nonprofit community continues their essential work in the face of a serious pandemic, economic crisis and the impact of systemic racism -- Give Miami Day will be more vital than ever. While we all count on Miami-Dade's nonprofits to serve our region day after day, this time, they're counting on us.
On Thursday, November 19, 2020, we invite everyone to explore the online profiles of hundreds of Miami-Dade nonprofits that, with limited resources and staff, always find a way to provide the supplies, services and support our residents need. We encourage you to find a cause or an organization you believe in and make a charitable donation. Learn more in this week's Arts and Culture guide and view happenings this week here. |
