Generating Prosperity
As part of our mission to build a Miami where everyone can thrive, we contribute to economic mobility efforts that make South Florida a great place for all to live. Whether done through coalition and collaborative work, or as the backbone implementation agency, The Miami Foundation aims to drive systemic change in generating prosperity for people and families across Miami-Dade County. We partner with local nonprofits, government agencies, and the business sector to invest in our local workforce, small businesses, and overall financial health of our community.
Miami Open For Business
Fueled by a $20 million grant from Wells Fargo, the Miami Open for Business program empowered historically underserved nonprofits and small businesses to build generational wealth and resilience through the purchase and ownership of critical business assets, such as property, equipment, and technology.
Labor Miami
LaborMiami.org was the brainchild of The Miami Building Prosperity Collaborative, a partnership between community-based organizations working in small business development, workforce development, and general community development who teamed up to increase pathways out of poverty and into living wage jobs. Beyond being a typical job board, LaborMiami.org launched as a one-stop-shop to help students, job seekers, and entrepreneurs access the support and statistics needed to advance their employment.
COVID-19 Relief
The COVID-19 pandemic ignited Greater Miami’s strength and spirit of caring, community and resilience. In response, The Miami Foundation mobilized donors, businesses and public leaders to support nonprofit organizations on the front lines of the pandemic response.
