For more than 40 years, Dade Community Foundation has served Greater Miami as a permanent endowment for the community’s changing needs and a platform for discussion and building positive relationships. With deep roots in Miami-Dade County, we work to strengthen our community through philanthropy and civic engagement.

Dade Community Foundation provides convenient and effective ways for donors to invest in the community. We help them to identify critical issues, share ideas, and build the financial and intellectual resources needed for positive long-term change. Since our founding in 1967, Dade Community Foundation has distributed more than $118 million in grants to nonprofit agencies and scholarships to deserving students. More than 500 individuals, families, businesses and nonprofit organizations have made us stewards of their charitable funds – resources that now represent a combined endowment of more than $160 million.

The mission of Dade Community Foundation is to encourage philanthropy and charitable giving by developing a permanent endowment to meet Greater Miami’s emerging charitable needs. We protect and manage the assets of philanthropic funds and provide grantmaking expertise to donors with various interests at all levels of giving. By bringing together diverse groups in Miami-Dade County, we help improve the quality of life and build a more cohesive community by supporting local nonprofit organizations with grants and technical assistance.
