MIAMI BEACH, Fla., April 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Impact Forum, co-founded by Adam and Gila Milstein, hosted 175 philanthropists at a dinner event in Miami Beach, Florida on March 19, 2026, raising more than $1.1 million to support nonprofit organizations working to combat antisemitism, strengthen the U.S.-Israel alliance, champion American values, and support Israeli families impacted by the ongoing conflict.
The evening brought together a community of like-minded donors and civic leaders united by a shared commitment to strategic philanthropy. Comedian, actor, and writer Elon Gold served as the event's emcee, guiding attendees through a program that spotlighted four organizations making outsized impact with innovative approaches to some of the most pressing challenges facing Jewish communities today.
Featured Organizations
The forum showcased presentations from four nonprofits selected for their strategic impact and mission alignment:
IDF Widows and Orphans Organization is the sole organization recognized by the Israeli government to represent and support the spouses and children of fallen IDF soldiers and other security personnel. Their work provides critical support to the families of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to Israel's security.

A Growing Movement in Strategic Philanthropy
The Impact Forum, which Adam and Gila Milstein co-founded in Los Angeles in 2017, has experienced significant growth in recent years. What began as an intimate gathering of local philanthropists has expanded into a national movement, with dinners now held quarterly and drawing donors from across the country.
"The Impact Forum has seen unprecedented growth since October 7," said Adam Milstein. "Donors and community leaders are gathering not just to show solidarity but to take meaningful action. The Miami dinner demonstrated that the philanthropic community is more energized and united than ever in its commitment to fighting antisemitism, supporting Israel, and championing the values that strengthen American democracy."
The forum's model reflects Adam Milstein's philosophy of "Philanthropic Synergy" and "Strategic Force-Multiplication," connecting established donors with innovative, high-impact nonprofits that often operate below the radar of traditional philanthropic networks. By fostering collaboration and shared purpose, the Impact Forum enables philanthropists to collectively support organizations that punch above their weight.
