What is Give Miami Day? Give Miami Day is the largest annual giving event in the Southeast United States. Held online, Give Miami Day allows all individuals in our community to make a philanthropic impact by collectively supporting local nonprofit organizations. In 2015, Give Miami Day made history, raising $7.1 million for more than 600 local nonprofits. Nearly 17,000 donors spanning the city, nation and globe participated in the multi-million dollar movement. This year s Give Miami Day will take place on November 17, 2016. 24 hours of giving begins at 12 a.m. on November 17 and ends at 12 a.m. on November 18, 2016. How can you get involved? Nonprofits can participate in Give Miami Day by encouraging their donors to support them through online donations made at givemiamiday.org.
