The San Diego Foundation is a leader in philanthropy, dedicated to making a positive impact in the San Diego community. With over 45 years of experience, we have granted over $1 billion to support the growth and development of the region. Our approach to philanthropy is deeply ethical, holding ourselves accountable to being a trustworthy partner and approaching our work with humility and respect for the expertise of the communities we serve.
At The San Diego Foundation, we value open-mindedness and continuous learning. We listen carefully to different experiences and perspectives, and strive to build strong and diverse coalitions. We believe in the power of community engagement and actively engage in shared decision-making processes. By working collaboratively with government, nonprofit, business sectors, and individuals, we are able to create lasting positive change in the community.
Our mission is to create a vibrant and equitable San Diego region, where all individuals and communities can thrive. We are committed to addressing the most pressing issues facing our community, including education, health and human services, arts and culture, and the environment. Through our grantmaking, we support a wide range of organizations and initiatives that are making a difference in the lives of San Diegans.
As a foundation, we are constantly adapting to the changing needs of our community. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we established the COVID-19 Community Response Fund to provide immediate support to those most affected by the crisis. We are proud to have distributed over $50 million to support individuals, families, and nonprofit organizations during these challenging times.
At The San Diego Foundation, we believe that philanthropy has the power to create a better future for all. We invite you to join us in our mission by learning more about our work and considering a donation to support our efforts. Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient San Diego for generations to come. Visit our website at SDFoundation.org to learn more.
