Your Community Asset
For nearly 50 years, donors, nonprofits, communities, government and civic leaders have trusted San Diego Foundation to transform lives and have partnered with us for lasting change that moves our region forward.
As San Diego’s largest regional community foundation, it’s our job to understand the pulse of our local communities better than anyone, enabling donors and nonprofit partners to tackle the most critical needs facing San Diegans.
In July 2021, we adopted a bold, new Strategic Plan. Our work will not be complete until everyone who calls San Diego County home has the opportunity to prosper, thrive and feel like they belong.
