As we approach Give Miami Day this year, we are thinking so much about how to help our nonprofit community raise more money, find new donors, and build increased awareness for their work. We know the general operating dollars that come from Give Miami Day are more important than ever, and our goal this year is not only to grow how much we raise, but grow the number of people who engage in the day.

With that in mind, we are excited to introduce POWER HOURS, a way for us to spotlight specific issue areas/nonprofit categories throughout the day to boost attention and fundraising. Here's how they'll work:

Issue area spotlights: On Give Miami Day, every hour from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. will be designated as a Power Hour for a different issue area/nonprofit category. During that hour, we will use social and digital media to motivate donors who care about that issue to explore the organizations doing incredible work to address it. We hope this will help residents and donors find new organizations and showcase the importance of local nonprofits’ work to Give Miami Day’s massive audience.
Bonus dollars during each Power Hour: We’re partnering with sponsors who want to give toward specific issues to offer bonus dollars during each Power Hour. On top of the standard Give Miami Day Bonus Pool that you know well (boosting eligible gifts throughout the day), we have built additional bonus pools that will be distributed to organizations receiving donations during their Power Hour. This will add more incentive for donors to support their favorite causes and organizations during these hours.
Equity spotlights: Knowing that donors have shown an interest in supporting historically marginalized leaders and organizations, we’ve added Power Hours for Black-led organizations doing work to strengthen Black communities, as well as one for LGBTQ-led organizations working to strengthen LGBTQ communities. During Give Miami Day, these hours will spotlight these leaders and organizations, giving them an extra boost (and bonus dollars) on top of their issue area spotlight hour.
