The Miami Foundation

As Miami's largest annual fundraiser, Give Miami Day, quickly approaches, an iHeartRadio podcast, CEOs You Should Know, meets with CEOs who play an active role in building generosity across our community! On today's podcast, meet Joan Marie Godoy, the dynamic leader of Radical Partners, an organization that invests in leaders, engages locals, co-creates solutions, and builds coalitions to collectively make Miami's communities stronger. As she approached the role with over 15 years of project and time management experience, the work achieved under Godoy’s leadership has helped shape Radical Partners as a beacon of hope for many in our South Florida communities. We at The Miami Foundation have had the pleasure of working closely with Radical Partners, who help us prepare for Give Miami Day, and we look forward to spending the big day with them— building a thriving Greater Miami.
