About United Way Miami
United Way Miami Inc’s giving centers on Miami-Dade County programs that are built for measurable results, especially through its Community Impact Fund and Impact Partners. The foundation says this vehicle supports partners across Education, Economic Mobility, Health & Wellbeing, and Resilient Communities, and it also runs dedicated portfolios for early childhood education, financial stability, veteran services, workforce development, and emergency assistance. Those program lines show a funder that mixes place-based community investment with issue-specific support. Recent grants illustrate that pattern of large, recurring support to local institutions. Greater Miami Jewish Federation received $3,225,120 in 2024 and $2,775,837 in 2023, both for general support, while Jewish Community Services of South Florida Inc received $2,477,794 in 2023 and additional support in 2024. The grant list also includes major awards to University of Miami Programs, Adrienne Arsht Center Foundation Inc, and Branches Inc, alongside support for organizations serving children, older adults, and families in financial emergency. The foundation’s philosophy tags point to general operating, unrestricted, core, and flexible-use support, which aligns with the recurring general support language in the recent grants list. Its work is described as bringing together people and resources to build a better community.

The Center for Excellence in Early Education provides funding, quality enhancement services, professional learning, and program partnerships for early care and education programs, including the Demonstration School, Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership, Pathways to Quality, and CAIT. Economic Mobility is another major line of work. The foundation funds a portfolio that includes Center for Financial Stability services, Mission United for veterans, UpSkill Miami, and partner grants tied to housing stability, workforce training, financial coaching, and employment supports. Health & Wellbeing includes the SingleCare prescription discount program and partner health programs such as mobile healthcare in schools, screenings, behavioral health services, and older adult services. Resilient Communities is also part of the Community Impact Fund, linking neighborhood-level support to measurable community outcomes.
