Stories of Giving
Where generosity meets impact, and everyday philanthropy takes center stage.
Stories of Giving is PhilanthropyMiami’s year-round storytelling platform honoring the people and organizations who move our community forward through generosity, leadership, and service.
Born from Donor Next Door, this series extends the celebration beyond one evening—amplifying the stories of honorees and nonprofits whose commitment to giving strengthens Miami-Dade every day.
These are not just stories about philanthropy.
They are stories of belonging, collaboration, and the power of showing up for one another.

A growing collection of generosity, shared month by month.
Each month, we spotlight a nonprofit and its honoree—celebrating the ripple effect of generosity across our community. Explore past stories below and see how everyday philanthropy is shaping Miami-Dade.
Why These Stories Matter
Philanthropy is often misunderstood as something reserved for a select few. But here in Miami, we know a different truth.
Philanthropy lives in relationships.
In shared values.
In the quiet, consistent acts of generosity that sustain nonprofits and strengthen communities.
Stories of Giving exists to:
- Honor generosity in all its forms
- Elevate the leaders and organizations doing the work
- Inspire others to see themselves as part of the story
Because when we tell these stories, we don’t just celebrate impact—we grow it.
From Donor Next Door to Stories of Giving
Stories of Giving is an extension of Donor Next Door, PhilanthropyMiami’s signature celebration recognizing extraordinary generosity across our nonprofit ecosystem.
While Donor Next Door honors these leaders in a shared moment, Stories of Giving ensures their impact lives on—creating space for deeper reflection, broader visibility, and continued connection throughout the year.
