About Us
Your donation will support a variety of programs and services within UHealth. If you have a specific passion for a healthcare specialty or one of our prestigious schools, we will work with you to ensure your donation goes directly to that area. You will work with a member of our Community Development team, who can provide more information on areas of financial need or various programs that are available to support.
UCARE is a division at the University of Miami within the Development and Alumni Relations department. UCARE is dedicated to igniting philanthropic passions by partnering with community members, individuals, groups, and companies to support their initiatives. Through innovative event creation, online fundraisers, impactful marketing campaigns and more, we strive to empower our partners to make a difference in the causes they care about most.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The Community Fundraising team will respond to your submission within fourteen (14) business days to either approve your event or request further information.
UHealth is not hosting your event, as it’s considered a third-party event. Because of this, UHealth is not able to provide its tax ID number to the organizer, and the organizer cannot use the UHealth’s 501(c)(3) status to apply for funding. However, if a business makes a donation to the event and would like the tax exempt number for tax purposes or to verify the tax status of UHealth, we’ll provide the information to the
business upon request.
Because of the large number of events and limited number of staff, staff members can’t plan your event. However, we’re happy to provide guidance and best practices to get you started, and we’ll answer questions throughout your planning process.
