LEAVE A LEGACY started as an initiative of the Partnership for Philanthropic Planning of Miami-Dade County in 1997. There are LEAVE A LEGACY Chapters in over 150 cities. The Partnership for Philanthropic Planning of Miami-Dade County, is a nonprofit organization comprised of planned giving officers, other nonprofit development officers, and other professional advisors such as attorneys, CPAs, CLUs, CFPs, trust officers and other professionals involved in estate and financial planning, who share the goal of promoting philanthropy in Miami-Dade County.

Some of the projects of the Miami-Dade LEAVE A LEGACY campaign include: 

  • a special section in the Miami Herald entirely devoted to philanthropy and charitable giving distributed on National Philanthropy Day
  • educational outreach programs for nonprofits (particularly those who are just starting a planned giving program) such as the conferences on "How to Start a Bequest Program" and Tools of the Trade
  • educational outreach to allied professionals to encourage them to incorporate charitable giving into their practices and display the LEAVE A LEGACY brochure
  • the Donor Next Door program to help participating nonprofits reach their current (and potential) donor community
  • the Family Album publication unveiled at the Donor Next Door Luncheon honors the outstanding work of our communitys nonprofits and their generous donors
  • the NonProfit Reference Manual to provide local nonprofits technical resources on areas of concern for nonprofits such as board liability and tax concerns
  • Charted Giving Plans, an easy to read brochure to assist nonprofits in their planned giving efforts
