Mosaic Miami

What Mosaic Miami does

Mosaic Miami, Inc. is a Florida-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Coral Gables that operates a portfolio of civic engagement, interfaith dialogue, and youth leadership programs across South Florida. Founded in 1935 (with roots to a 1923 Christian-Jewish coalition) and rebranded from its former name MCCJ in 2023, the organization delivers community-building services rather than technology products, including the six-day residential Camp MetroTown for high school students, the 85+ year interfaith Clergy Dialogue program, the Can We Talk? dialogue series, Emerging Leaders mentorship dinners, and the annual Humanitarian Dinner recognizing Silver Medallion awardees.

The organization's business model is donation-based, with revenue streams spanning individual contributions (one-time, monthly, yearly), corporate sponsorships (Bronze $6,000 through Presenting $30,000 tiers for the Humanitarian Dinner), event ticket sales, tribute advertising, and designated program scholarships ($750-$2,000 per MetroTown scholarship). Distribution occurs through direct program delivery at partner venues (Barry University, FIU, Belen Jesuit, Temple Beth Am, Unity on the Bay), signature galas, community events, and an online donation portal. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, leveraging grassroots referrals, interfaith networks, and partnerships with The Miami Foundation, Miami Herald, United Way of Miami-Dade, and The Children's Trust.

The organization operates with a lean core staff of three named individuals led by Executive Director Matthew Anderson, supplemented by an extensive volunteer and alumni network drawn from its 282 Silver Medallion honorees, 500+ MetroTown graduates, and 220+ Emerging Leaders participants. Geographic reach is concentrated in South Florida with limited national ambition evidenced by a 2023 partnership with the Washington DC-based Interfaith Alliance.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• American Jewish Committee (AJC): Established national Jewish advocacy organization working on interfaith and pluralism issues. Mosaic Miami partners with AJC on programs like Nostra Aetate anniversary events, but AJC operates at significantly larger scale and broader scope.
• Anti-Defamation League (ADL): National organization fighting antisemitism and bigotry through education and advocacy. ADL overlaps with Mosaic Miami on bias-reduction and interfaith programming but operates as a much larger, multi-issue incumbent.

Direct peers

• Interfaith Alliance: National nonprofit advocating for religious freedom and pluralism, with active local chapters. Mosaic Miami maintains a strategic partnership with Interfaith Alliance and runs overlapping interfaith dialogue programming, making it a directly comparable peer in the interfaith convening space.
• Facing History and Ourselves: Educational nonprofit offering curriculum and training on identity, prejudice, and civic responsibility. Faces strong overlap with Mosaic Miami's MetroTown youth leadership camp, which similarly equips high school students to navigate bias and community differences.
• Points of Light: Global civic engagement and volunteer-mobilization organization operating community-led programming. Points of Light shares Mosaic Miami's community-driven dialogue, recognition, and engagement model but at significantly larger national scale.
• National Council of Christians and Jews (NCCJ): National parent-style network of interfaith dialogue and human relations organizations. Mosaic Miami traces its organizational lineage to NCCJ (founded under the same banner in 1935), making it the closest historical and programmatic peer.

Others

• The Miami Foundation: Community foundation serving Miami-Dade that operates Give Miami Day. The Miami Foundation functions as Mosaic Miami's primary philanthropic intermediary and funder rather than a direct competitor, but operates in adjacent community-investment space.
• United Way of Miami-Dade: Major regional funder and convener of social-impact nonprofits in Miami-Dade. United Way is both a Mosaic Miami partner and an adjacent ecosystem participant serving overlapping community-building and intergroup dialogue missions.
