Grooming the Next Generation of Donors: An Interview With Miami Jewish Health Systems' Blaise Mercadante

Our donor base has changed dramatically in the past few years, evolving from an older, Jewish donor base to a more diverse, younger donor base — tracking the cultural changes that have happened in our service community, South Florida. Our Latin Support Group is actually our largest support group. Typically, our donors become interested in Miami Jewish Health Systems in their late 40s and early 50s, when they become aware of the service that we offer for their parents and themselves. However, we have donors as young as mid-20s and as old as 105. Age, income and culture no longer define our donor base.
