The Miami Foundation’s 15th annual Give Miami Day is set for Thursday, Nov. 19, an online fundraising drive that supports more than 1,000 local nonprofits. Donors can give early starting Saturday, Nov. 14, before the main day.
Julissa Rivera, the foundation’s senior community engagement manager, discussed the campaign in a conversation with Michael Miller for Miami’s Community Newspapers. Rivera was named Philanthropy Miami’s inaugural 2026 Game Changer Award winner, according to the piece.
A weekend event comes first. The Give Miami 5K starts at 8 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, at Maurice A. Ferré Park, 1075 Biscayne Boulevard in Miami. Race registration is sold out. The free post-race festival runs from 8:30 a.m. to noon and features headliner Flo Rida, live music, family activities and booths from local nonprofits. Festival spots are limited and require a reservation through the official registration page.
Residents who want to pick a cause can browse participating organizations on the Give Miami Day website. The full conversation is available on YouTube and Facebook.
