Fondasyon Miami an te fè gwo pwomès ak gwo kouraj bay kominote a an 2024. Lè n ap gade dèyè sou tout sa ki te akonpli ane sa a, sa ki pi make nou se moun ki te kanpe bò kote nou nan travay sa a: kowalisyon yo te kiltive non sèlman nan lespri inite òganizasyon nou an, men tou nan rekonesans ke nou akonpli pi plis lè solisyon yo fòje an patenarya.

Nou te kòmanse ane 2024 la avèk lansman pwogram bous detid anyèl nou an. An patenarya avèk fanmi lokal yo, patnè antrepriz yo, ak Pwogram Asistans pou Kolèj Konte Miami-Dade la, nou te bay 883 bous detid pou elèv an 2024, pou yon total de 2.2 milyon dola. Bous detid sa yo ede asire ke elèv ki gen gwo siksè ak elèv ki nan gwo bezwen yo gen sipò finansye yo bezwen pou kouvri ekolaj yo ak lòt depans kolèj ki gen rapò.

Nan mwa fevriye, Fondasyon an ak kominote a te selebre Mwa Istwa Nwa nan 9yèm evènman anyèl nou an sou Eta Filantropi Nwa a . Evènman ane sa a te sèvi kòm lansman Bousdetid Saltwater nou an; nouvo inisyativ Fondasyon sa a envesti avèk kouraj nan lidè k ap chanje sitiyasyon an sou pwoblèm ki pi ijan k ap fèt nan Gran Miami, avèk premye bousdetid sa a ki konsantre sou lidè k ap adrese inegalite rasyal nou wè nan done kominote nou an. Dis lidè te angaje nan yon bousdetid ki dire yon ane epi yo chak te resevwa yon sibvansyon san restriksyon $100,000 pou dezan pou pouse travay yo. Nou te pibliye tou dezyèm edisyon rapò nou an sou Eta Filantropi Nwa a , ki eksplore entèseksyon sibtil ant opòtinite ak opresyon ki fòme antreprenarya Nwa, eksperyans akouchman Nwa, ak òganizasyon san bi likratif ki dirije pa Nwa.

Chanjman Fondasyon an pou l vin yon sik Sibvansyon Kominotè dezan te pèmèt nou gen plis tan pou nou soti nan kominote a pou nou te ka konnen patnè sibvansyon nou yo, wè travay yo an aksyon, envesti nan devlopman pwofesyonèl yo, epi ranfòse relasyon ak òganizasyon san bi likratif nan Miami. Lefèt ke nou te deyò nan kominote a te pèmèt ekip la konprann pi byen tout bezwen ak opòtinite atravè Miami epi ogmante envestisman nou yo nan òganizasyon san bi likratif pi lwen pase sibvansyon yo; nou te sipòte kapasite òganizasyon san bi likratif yo pou ranfòse ak elaji misyon respektif yo lè nou te bay yo yon varyete pwogram ranfòsman kapasite ki fèt pou sipòte siksè operasyonèl, pwogramatik ak finansye yo.

The Foundation also ramped up its effort to more meaningfully engage and activate our donors and advisors. In 2024, we successfully launched our Activated Professionals Network to encourage legal and financial advisors in our community to get to know the Foundation and get hands-on engagement out in community. We hosted our first-ever Living Legends event to honor some of our most treasured donor partners who are making a difference in the community. We also continued to convene funders from the biggest foundations in South Florida for joint community site visits and to encourage collaboration.

This year, in an effort to inspire more Miamians to get involved in building the community they want to live in, we began producing knowledge resources to help the community better understand key issues facing Greater Miami. We published our second Give Miami Day report to share what we learned from the 96,000 donations received on Give Miami Day in 2023.

De Domèn Pwoblèm nou yo sou Anviwònman ak Rezistans Klima ak Angajman Sivik bay done sou reyalite pwoblèm sa yo nan kominote nou an epi yo ofri konsèy sou kijan moun Miami yo ka pran aksyon pou jwenn solisyon. Anplis de sa, nou te fè yon etid ki te trase yon kat pwogram san bi likratif ki sèvi popilasyon K-12 Miami a epi nou te itilize li pou pwodui yon Rapò sou Peyizaj Edikasyon an. Finalman, nou te devlope yon aperçu done ki soti nan Kat artlook® nou an ki eksplore viktwa ak opòtinite pou aksè a atizay nan Lekòl Piblik Konte Miami-Dade yo.

Ane 2024 la te make tou yon nouvo imajinasyon sou sipò Fondasyon an bay edikasyon atistik pou jèn yo nan kominote nou an. Nou te elaji epi chanje non Music Access Miami pou l vin Arts Access Miami pou l pi enklizif anrapò ak tout fason nou ka bay jèn yo aksè a atizay. Ane sa a, nou te rive gen 100% patisipasyon nan men lekòl yo pou ede enfòme Kat Artlook nou an, sa ki pèmèt patnè atistik yo ak moun k ap finanse yo gen yon imaj konplè sou ekosistèm edikasyon atistik nan Konte Miami-Dade. Nan katriyèm sik sibvansyon pwogram nan, nou te distribye $240,000 bay 12 òganizasyon edikasyon atistik pou ogmante patenarya yo ak Lekòl Piblik Konte Miami-Dade; patnè sibvansyon yo te itilize kat artlook® nou an pou idantifye kominote ak lekòl pou yo asosye avèk yo. Nou fèk fini tou konsepsyon yon sondaj pou lidè òganizasyon atistik ki pral ede evalye bezwen devlopman òganizasyon atistik nan Konte Miami-Dade. Pou asire travay nou an rete baze sou vwa kominote a, nou te kreye epi nou te kòmanse reyini yon Komite Direktè Arts Access Miami. Lidè sa yo pral ede enfòme ak konseye Fondasyon an epi gide panse estratejik nou sou envestisman ki gen rapò ak kat artlook® Miami an.

Ane 2024 te make tou fèmen Miami Open for Business , inisyativ ti biznis nou an ki te vin posib grasa yon sibvansyon 20 milyon dola nan men Wells Fargo. Atravè inisyativ sa a, nou te bay mikwosibvansyon ak prè ak enterè ki ba a plis pase 450 pwopriyetè ti biznis (ak òganizasyon ki pa pou pwofi) pou ede yo bati byen yo. Sa ki pi enpòtan, nou te angaje 6.8 milyon dola pou sipòte 14 acha byen imobilye komèsyal, ki loje 37 ti biznis. Anplis de sa, nou te bay plis pase 10,000 èdtan asistans teknik a plis pase 1,000 biznis.

LGBTQ equity remains a top priority for The Miami Foundation; we make investments in the areas of highest need each year through our LGBTQ Equity Fund, led in partnership with the National LGBTQ Task Force and Our Fund. This year, we made $350,000 in awards to 12 local organizations working to support young adults aged 18-24 in need of safe and sustainable housing. We remain committed to bringing more donor partners to the table so we can deepen our investments in this space.

In July, we announced the Zero Drownings Miami-Dade Initiative in partnership with Miami-Dade County, a transformative water safety and drowning education program that provides year-round swim lessons. 725 preschool and kindergarten-aged children representing 11 different public elementary schools and nine Head Start centers have taken a lesson since they began in October. Moreover, the Foundation collaborated with the American Red Cross to develop the first-ever Haitian Creole online water safety course for parents and caregivers. This course will be used not only in Miami-Dade County, but throughout the United States.

Nan mwa Out, elektè ki enskri yo te ale nan biwo vòt yo pou eleksyon primè ak eleksyon nan tout konte a nan Miami-Dade. Nan pouswit pou enspire yon pi gwo patisipasyon, nou te òganize sèt fowòm kandida vityèl pandan tout mwa Jiyè a atravè inisyativ Vote Miami nou an, an patenarya avèk plizyè òganizasyon san bi likratif, pou ede elektè yo konnen kandida yo epi santi yo pi enfòme lè y ap rive nan biwo vòt la. Fowòm yo te kouvri kous Konsèy Komisyonè Konte a, ansanm ak konkou pou Cherif, Kolektè Taks, Sipèvizè Eleksyon yo, ak Evalyatè Pwopriyete. Antou, fowòm yo te angaje 1,361 telespektatè. Nou te sipòte 15 lòt fowòm ak panèl eleksyon an pèsòn, san patipri, atravè yon pwogram mikwosibvansyon Vote Miami. Anplis fowòm yo, nou te reamenaje platfòm edikasyon elektè sou entènèt nou an tou, ke plis pase 9,500 moun te jwenn aksè.

September marked the one-year milestone for Press Forward, a national initiative housed at The Miami Foundation that is dedicated to increasing access to trusted local news and information. In just one year, Press Forward has awarded 200 grants of $100,000 each to local news outlets nationwide, convened funders for three different summits, and assembled a world-class leadership team of six full-time staff from around the country. Press Forward is the largest initiative the Foundation has ever housed, bringing in $70 million in revenue in its first year alone.

In October, we hosted a Leadership Summit to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Miami Fellows, a treasured leadership program that invests in the future of leadership for our community. 90 Fellows representing all 15 classes came together at loanDepot park, home of the Miami Marlins for an epic day of learning, sharing, and reflecting on the next chapter of leadership that can benefit Greater Miami.  The day concluded with over 400 Miamians from over 20 leadership programs coming together to honor Annie Lord, Executive Director of Miami Homes for All as our 10th Ruth Shack Leadership Award recipient.

Finally, this November saw the Foundation host the 13th annual Give Miami Day. Early giving kicked off a day sooner, the Foundation debuted a giving assembly that took place in five different elementary schools across Miami-Dade, and we took our day-of support for nonprofits countywide by hosting multiple Mission Control sites. We’re still celebrating the day’s tremendous success, which saw Miami give more generously than ever before. More than 51,000 households collectively donated $39.5 million, marking a 13% increase in the number of donors from last year and 16% increase in dollars raised. Generosity is undoubtedly on the rise in Miami: the number of households that participate in Give Miami Day has more than doubled in the past five years.

Gade Greater Miami reyini ansanm nan Jounen Give Miami an se te dènye rapèl nou ke tout kominote nou an pi gran pase sòm pati li yo. Pandan n ap reflechi sou 2024 epi rekonèt pouvwa enpak kolektif la, nou espere w ap rantre nan nou pou reflechi sou sa nou ka bati ansanm nan 2025.
