It’s been 25 years. So, what’s next?

This is a question we’ve been pondering for the past several years. As we’ve all lived through a global pandemic, it’s a question that has been on everyone’s minds.

As we all emerge from a turbulent and uncertain year, a year when we were forced to accept, adapt, and pivot, we at PhilanthropyMiami courageously delved into what has become an existential question.

What’s next?

During the past year and a half, we undertook a process of reflection and investigation. Who do we want to serve? How do we best accomplish that? What does our community need? What values must guide our work? What does success look like?

After 25 years of existence, one might think that finding the answers should be easy. But they’re not. We’ve got many opportunities ahead but reaching our full potential will take considerable effort.

But it is worth the effort. Our community, our nonprofit organizations, and the people who call Miami-Dade home all deserve our very best.

As we move forward, we do so with alacrity, enthusiasm, and humility.

We are the conveners of the nonprofit sector in Miami-Dade County. But we don’t have all the answers. This is why we need you.

We invite you to explore our strategic plan. As you examine the challenges and solutions we present in the document, we ask you to consider your own question: “How can I be involved?”

PhilanthropyMiami is the place where you belong. Please…join us.

Our special thanks to Andrea Mills and Adam Barber at BDO FMA for their tremendous contributions during our planning process.
