Give Miami Day

"Give with joy" is one of several calls-to-action we use at The Salvation Army to convey our mission in a succinct and meaningful way.

It means many things:

• Give with hope.
• Give with love.
• Give with generosity.
• Give with confidence.
• Give with peace of mind.
• Give with reassurance.
• Give with ROI — Return on Investment.

When you make a donation, you expect and deserve the maximum impact for every dollar.
We couldn’t agree more.

Why Trust Us?

• We’ve been doing this since 1865.
• We are an international household name.
• We have a presence in every single ZIP code in the U.S.
• In Spanish-speaking countries, we are known as El Ejército de Salvación.

We are not a niche charity focused on one specific area. At the risk of exaggerating, we literally do it all in the philanthropy space:

• From preventing and combating human trafficking to music education.
• From homeless shelters to financial support and tutoring.
• From massive meal deployments to addiction rehabilitation.
• From Disaster Emergency Services to Bible studies.
• From prayer services to thrift stores.
• From Christmas gifts for children in need (Angel Tree) to benefit pickleball tournaments.

The list is long. Very long.
That’s why another slogan we use is: “Doing the Most Good.”

Our Approach

Explaining what we do in one easy catchphrase isn’t simple. We’ve been innovating in philanthropy for generations, applying battle-tested methods that deliver RESULTS.

• We are big — hundreds of thousands of employees and millions of volunteers work under our umbrella.
• Yet we run a lean organization.
• Efficiency is key to our mission.
• We know how to avoid friction and waste in day-to-day operations.

We are proud to say:
87 cents of every dollar we receive goes directly to those who need it most.
