Foundation Profile: San Diego Foundation
"The San Diego Foundation's purpose is to improve the quality of life within all of our communities by promoting and increasing responsible and effective philanthropy. Entrusted with this responsibility, we have a four-part mission: 1) assist donors to build and preserve enduring assets for charitable purposes in all of San Diego's communities; 2) monitor and assess changing needs; 3) meet those needs through financial awards and organizational support; and 4) convene members of the community to promote creative dialogue and action on issues affecting our communities."
DESCRIPTION: The San Diego Foundation works to create a community with equal access to quality health care, healthy food, higher education, abundant parks and open space, clean air and water and safe neighborhoods. In addition the Foundation works to secure quality jobs, stable families and human equality regardless of sex, age, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability and more. The San Diego Foundation provides civic leadership to address community needs and effect positive change. By closely monitoring local issues, opportunities and resources, The San Diego Foundation has an in-depth understanding of the region’s challenges and the organizations addressing them. Together with our volunteer Working Groups, The Foundation established initiatives for change across subject areas essential to the well-being of every San Diegan.
