What is Give Miami Day?  
One of the nation's biggest 24-hour annual giving events, Give Miami Day, is an online campaign where all locals can be philanthropists.  
On Thursday, November 20, 2025, we invite everyone to explore the online profiles of hundreds of Miami-Dade community organizations that continuously provide the supplies, services, and support our residents need. We encourage you to find a cause or an organization you believe in and make a charitable donation. While we all count on Greater Miami's organizations to serve our region day after day, this time, they are counting on us. Since 2012, Give Miami Day has raised more than $100 million for 1,000+ community organizations. 

EVERY PENNY.
Our work is 100% funded by events, private donations, private, corporate and government grants, and we are 100%
staffed and managed by professional volunteers.

Everything that comes in, goes right back out for Programming, Community Building, Leading & Assisting our LGBTQ community.

GIVE WITH CONFIDENCE... UC|CU has been awarded the
