People often ask us to define The Miami Foundation’s focus. Our answer is that we share a desire with you, the philanthropist, to make Miami greater. As such, we are able to concentrate on what it is that you would like in order to achieve this aim. It is from that desire to create a better place for all of us to live, work and play that this year’s annual report to you stems. Our society is increasingly mobile and our community increasingly global, often giving people the opportunity to live anywhere. You, however, choose to live in Miami. We are interested in knowing what it is about Miami that keeps you here. We are home to more than 2.5 million people - from more than 70 countries, world-class sports teams, renowned beaches and nightlife, lush farmlands and a vibrant urban core. Beyond these instantly recognizable assets, however, we want to understand the values that form the bond between Miami and you.
In a word, what is Miami to you? The answers are as diverse as the people to whom we asked the question. And just as there is a common thread in the work that we do, the same thread exists in the answers to this question. From “promising” to “inspired” and “welcoming” to “home”, each answer points toward a greater Miami. As you explore this year’s annual report, it is our hope that you will recognize yourself in some of the words used by the philanthropists we are so fortunate to work with and the people whose lives they have forever changed. In their handwriting, they have shared what Miami is to them. We invite you to read the stories behind their words and then determine for yourself what Miami is to you. Choose a word that represents our place and then share it with us. We will collect your words and share them with you throughout the year. Thank you for all that you do for The Miami Foundation and for Miami.

“As the donor, I often think that I get more out of our grants than the nonprofit who is receiving them,� notes Dede Moss of The Helena Rubinstein Philanthropic Fund. -10

Bob and Dede Moss love Miami. As New Yorkers, when they found themselves looking for a place to move, the key requirements for their new home were openness and spirit. “We chose to settle in Miami because it is a place where you can immediately improve something - whether yourself, community or both,” offers Bob. It is for those reasons, that when Bob and Dede had the opportunity this year to make a $4 million gift, they chose Miami and The Miami Foundation.
“It is a natural choice for us to work with The Miami Foundation,” offers Dede. “They are the foundation for our community. The expertise that they provided as we considered our gift and continue to provide with our philanthropy is invaluable.” The Mosses are still inspired by their Miami home, 16 years after arriving here. They’ve witnessed the exponential growth in our city, our beautiful new downtown and our societal growth as well. Giving back and ensuring that others are made to feel as welcome as they were are values that Bob and Dede continue to share.

For Jessica,
Little Haiti Cultural Center is one of her
favorite places in Lemon City, better known as Little Haiti. This neighborhood has a rich history embraced by its locals. It connects many to their homeland 700 miles away. Through arts and culture, the Center is a place where people come together to meet, learn and share ideas. It’s here, just a few miles from Jessica’s home, where she explores Haitian art and creates her own masterpieces. A center focused around the arts has given Jessica and many others opportunities they might not otherwise have.
The Little Haiti Cultural Center has become a valuable asset,”observes Dennis Scholl, vice president for arts, John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. “The investment in arts and culture has in many ways transformed this community.” At The Miami Foundation, we seek out innovative programs that are changing lives through the arts. In the last five years, we have invested more than two million dollars in this work. We will continue to invest charitable dollars in the artistic transformation of communities.

As a 2nd grader, Darren was in trouble every week at school. He would run out of the classroom, torment other students and talk back to his teacher. That was before he met Charles Jackson. Darren, along with 40 other fatherless boys and girls from Liberty City, spends time in Jackson’s program: The Making of a Champion. Quick to tell you that he lives in the neighborhood with the kids he serves, Mr. Jackson, sees the promise in all of them.
“When you put a child, like Darren, in a good environment, with the right role models – they begin to understand that their lives have more potential than they previously thought,” explains Mr. Jackson. The combination of discipline from karate, mentoring from teachers, support from police and other partners, is potent in changing the life of a child. It’s for this reason that The Miami Foundation has, for the last three years, awarded The Making of a Champion $22,000 in grants. And Darren, for the 2011-2012 school year, did not get into trouble at school, not once. His grades are better and when you look in his eyes as Mr. Jackson picks him up for karate – the promise is clear.

miMiami It’s because his grandfather moved to the United States with $7 and a family of seven to pursue a better life. It’s because his grandfather taught his parents, and they him, that “one must give back to that which has given you so much.” These are the reasons Tony Jimenez has such strong core values. These values are shared by many in our community. The drive to build a better life, a spirit of adventure and desire to give back are reasons Tony Jimenez and all of the Miami Fellows have become the inspired people they are. Bastions of our community, like Cesar Alvarez, have stories that run parallel to experiences of the Fellows. Alvarez moved to the US from Cuba in 1960. Today he is executive chairman of Greenberg Traurig and has seen the firm grow by more than 400% under his leadership. During this time, he also has seen Miami evolve into a world-class city.
“In order for Miami to continue on this upward trajectory, we need to grow, keep and attract top talent from around the world,” notes Alvarez. “To do this well requires significant community leadership and resources.”

The University of Miami, like all great universities, plays an important role in the community and is, at the same time, a community unto itself. The collective of students, faculty, staff and administrators contributes to the economic, social and civic life of Miami. Together, they are employees and employers; they are voters, donors and volunteers. The community benefits from the university and the university benefits from the community. For President Donna Shalala, the mutuality of the relationship extends far beyond the campus and the confines of Coral Gables. It’s this belief, largely driven by the energies and needs of her students, which led her to establish an Office of Civic and Community Engagement. “I am consistently challenged and inspired by our students’ desires to do more on campus and more in South Florida to make them both a better place for all of us,” notes Shalala.
Her belief in the power of civic engagement to make Miami better is shared by The Miami Foundation. Both the University and the Foundation recognize that an engaged citizenry is an integral part of vibrant civic life. “I am proud to be a Hurricane and proud to be a Miamian,” continues Shalala. “And I am confident that our continued work with The Miami Foundation will make Miami a greater place to live, work and play for my students and all Miamians.”

Mark and Jason Squillante’s parents moved them here when they were just 5 and 7; when you ask them where home is - they proudly answer “Miami.” Driven by the local entrepreneurial spirit and inspired by the diversity of our people, Mark and Jason always have been driven to carve their own path. It is that inner-force they called upon when looking for a way to honor their mother, Judith, when she sadly passed away from cancer too young. Today, as successful businessmen, the Squillante brothers appreciate the opportunities they had growing up, afforded to them by their parents. They attribute their success largely to this upbringing. They also understand that not all of Miami’s children are as fortunate. This understanding, combined with a desire to honor their mother, is why in 2011 the brothers opened the JSTAR Foundation at The Miami Foundation.
“Our hope is that children are able to see that they can be anything they want to be,” offers Jason. “Miami has been such a welcoming place for us to grow up and build our businesses. We want young people today to do the same: graduate, go to college, come back to Miami and build a life.” “When we’re older and stop to look back at our lives, one thing I hope we see is that today’s young Miamians have taken our place,” continues Mark. “If there are more people who proudly call Miami home and are working to make life more promising for those who come after them - then we will have succeeded.”

Mark and Jason Squillante’s goal for all Miami’s young people to have the same opportunities they did, is more difficult than it sounds. The brothers realize this. Working with Foundation staff, they will discover and invest in innovative tutoring programs, college mentorship opportunities and job placement programs. miamifoundation.org

Imagine kayaking on Biscayne Bay – the wind in your hair and warm sun on your face. You’re watching dolphins play nearby and fish schooling beneath you. Now imagine that same scene with one difference – you’ve left your wheelchair on the dock and this is the first time you’ve ever been on the water. That magical scenario is one that is played out daily at Shake-A-Leg Miami. It’s also a scenario that Ethel B. and W.R. Thompson never could have imagined. The Thompsons loved Miami and all of its innovation and promise for growth. That’s why when she passed away in 1987 [three years before Shake-A-Leg Miami existed], she left her estate to The Miami Foundation. She knew that the Foundation would support exciting and innovative programs, like Shake-A-Leg, in her name forever.
“To empower these kids so that they can overcome the challenges they face and maintain what most consider a normal life is so inspiring,” shares Shake-A-Leg Founder and CEO Harry Hogan. Today, Harry and clients at Shake-A-Leg Miami, using adaptive equipment, have competed in two World Sailing Championships. They compete and win together, all with their wheelchairs on the dock.

Attorneys with sophisticated clients, like Martin Kalb, often recommend The Miami Foundation as a solution for their clients’ charitable needs. “My clients are philanthropic. As busy and successful people, they prefer to focus on what they want to achieve with their charitable gifts,” notes Kalb, shareholder at Greenberg Traurig. “The Miami Foundation does all the research and administration, freeing my clients of that burden.” It’s for this reason and more that attorneys, wealth managers, accountants and financial planners across Miami-Dade find it easy to suggest that their clients open their foundation at The Miami Foundation. “Our team of philanthropic experts develop a custom, charitable solution based on each client’s goals and needs. We have the ability to accept complicated assets, offer more favorable tax deductions and, with contributions of a certain size, allow a donor to choose their own investment manager,” offers Javier Alberto Soto, President and CEO of The Miami Foundation.
“I appreciate the flexibility, professional staff and outstanding customer service offered to me and my clients by the Foundation,” continues Kalb. “It’s extraordinary to know that they are handling the compliance and accountability, my clients get to have the joy of philanthropy.”
