Thank you for requesting a clarification. I do need the top 3 gifts in each category, and not just a list of any gifts that happen to be big. A church would not count as a cultural institution.

I can't think of a way to somehow certify that the very large gifts reported are, in fact, the largest in history. If anything comes to mind, I will revisit this question. Or, perhaps another researcher will come up with something. Best of luck, paf

There have been some huge gifts to universities in Florida, including a donation of $100 million to the University of Miami's medical school -- reportedly the second largest donation to a university in Florida's history. I can provide details of what appear to be the largest such donations, but I can't guarantee that they are the Top 3, since there's no way to be certain what (if any) donations I might have missed, or what donations were made quietly, without much coverage. As for cultural institutions, I can offer the same, but it would help to know just what you mean by "cultural institution". The largest non-university donation I've come across thus far has been to a Florida church. Does that count as a "cultural institution"? Let me know what you think. pafalafa-ga
