Setting a Vision for a Greater Miami

The Miami Foundation Board of Trustees is comprised of diverse volunteers in our community who provide stewardship for the Foundation and our charitable activities by establishing and governing all policies with respect to operations, investments and grants.

  • Enthusiasm for collective impact – strong desire to find new ways to collaborate and connect across issue areas and lines of difference
