Building the U
Building The U was established with one goal in mind, make the University of Miami Athletic Program better. We are a non-profit, not a part of the University, and we have nobody from the school on our Board of Directors. We plan on expanding the Board to include more former Miami Hurricane athletes. We are independent and this allows us to make sure the money we raise will be used where it is needed most. WE decide how it is spent, not the Administration at the school.
Building the U is in the process of becoming qualified under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3) as a charitable organization. While the organization’s application is pending, donors are eligible to make tax deductible contributions as provided in section 170 of the Internal Revenue Code. A copy of our IRS Determination Letter, once obtained, will be available upon request, and posted on this site. We have already been deemed a non-profit in Florida.
We believe in total transparency and whenever something comes up, be it a donation to the school or documentation regarding the charity, we will post it here. If you have any questions the best way to reach us is by email at buildingtheu@gmail.com
Thank you for the interest in Building The U, and GO CANES!!!
