We want to make it as easy as possible for you to find the organization that will make your heart beat on November 17, or as soon as November 14 if you want to show love to the nonprofit(s) of your choice during the Early Giving period (November 14-16).
WHO CAN MAKE A GIFT?

IS MY GIFT TAX DEDUCTIBLE?
Yes. Your gift and any fees you may choose to cover are fully tax-deductible. You will receive an itemized receipt from info@miamifoundation.org to submit with your taxes after making a gift. Only receipts sent from The Miami Foundation may be used for tax purposes.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Miami Foundation and our partners maximize our community’s generosity by making a bonus gift for every donation between $25 and $10,000 made on Give Miami Day. For gifts greater than $10,000, the first $10,000 will be eligible for a bonus gift.
The bonus gift percentage is calculated by dividing the total Bonus Pool dollars by the total eligible gifts raised during the event. For example, in 2017, the bonus gift percentage was 6.28%. If an organization raised $5,000 on Give Miami Day 2017, their bonus gift was $314.
The Miami Foundation determines the Bonus Pool percentage at the end of Give Miami Day.
FEES
All gifts will be paid to the selected organizations net of credit card and transaction fees paid directly to credit card merchants and Kimbia, The Miami Foundation’s give day partner. Transaction fees are estimated at 4.50%. The Miami Foundation hosts Give Miami Day as part of a mission to promote philanthropy throughout Miami-Dade County and does not collect any fees for Give Miami Day.
