The Breakthrough Alumni Network Fund

The Breakthrough Miami Alumni Network is dedicated to continuing to offer our BTM Alumni (former Scholars, Teaching Fellows, volunteers, or staff) the same quality of support they received as participants in the program. We exist to foster a continuing educational and philanthropic relationship between Breakthrough Miami alumni; to provide programs for the continuing education of Breakthrough Miami alumni; to facilitate the meeting of Breakthrough Miami alumni with one another; to encourage Breakthrough Miami alumni to make contributions to public service, and to enhance the reputation of Breakthrough Miami.

The Alumni Network continues to provide support and resources to our Alumni for success in their collegiate and professional careers. Your support helps to fund Book Scholarships, networking events, and professional development resources. As we continue to deliver upon our commitment to our Alumni, your contributions today are critical.

All gifts are greatly appreciated, and we thank you for making Breakthrough Miami a philanthropic priority. An investment of $400 funds one Alumni Network Book Scholarship for a graduating BTM Scholar. Thank you for making breakthroughs possible.
