IGNITE!365 Ask the Experts: Is Your Nonprofit Cyber Ready?

Join PhilanthropyMiami and Invizio for an interactive IGNITE!365: Ask the Experts conversation about the cybersecurity risks nonprofit leaders and boards should understand.

Following a brief overview, Kyle Hurst of Invizio will answer participant questions live and help organizations:

☑️ Recognize common cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities
☑️ Understand how AI use may create new data and security risks
☑️ Strengthen policies and compliance practices
☑️ Prepare effective incident-response plans

When a policy issue has implications across Miami-Dade, understanding it shouldn’t happen in silos.

That’s why PhilanthropyMiami is working alongside partners to help different parts of our community understand Amendment 3, ask questions, and consider what proposed property-tax changes could mean for them.

For nonprofits, we’re sharing tools and resources from the Florida Nonprofit Alliance to support informed conversations among nonprofit leaders, staff, and boards.

For residents, we’re joining Miami Homes For All, YWCA South Florida, and community partners for conversations focused on how property taxes work and what proposed changes could mean for homeowners, renters, affordable housing, and public services.

For the business and broader community, we’re participating in the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce town hall series with The Miami Foundation, Miami Dade College, and other community voices.

Different audiences bring different questions and perspectives. Our role is to help connect people to information, create space for conversation, and make sure these discussions aren’t happening separately from one another.

Upcoming opportunities to join the conversation:
