Programs
The miami beach chamber education foundation also spearheaded the school healthcare initiative to provide on-site healthcare in three miami beach feeder pattern schools. The three schools - ruth k. Broad k-8 center, north beach elementary and treasure island elementary - previously did not have access to medical attention, but thanks to the efforts of the foundation and the unprecedented collaboration with five municipalities and more than a dozen organizations, they now do. With the funds raised, the initiative was able to fully implement the health connect in our schools model, currently utilized throughout miami-dade county public schools by children's trust, in the feeder pattern schools. Each school now has a nurse, medical assistant and social worker on staff.

Proceeds help fund programming costs for the international baccalaureate (ib) programs available at all the public schools in the city of miami beach, a unique school system in itself as there is a feeder pattern program with five public schools on miami beach feeding into one public high school. The ib program helps develop the intellectual, personal, emotional, and social skills of students from age 3 to 19 to live, learn, and work in a rapidly globalizing world. In addition to this program, the education foundation is able to provide scholarships at the end of each school year to graduating seniors at miami beach senior high school.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $85k to $355k (+316%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2023 54% · 2024 76% · 2025 33%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

1 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $196 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
