For those who have supported or partnered with San Diego Foundation this past year, it is our honor to share our 2023 annual report with you.
It was another remarkable year for San Diego Foundation, with $131.1 million in grants distributed to nonprofit partners. In the last three years, we have granted nearly $400 million, thanks to our donors. Our donors make our work possible — and this year was like none other, thanks to Jay Kahn’s $106 million gift that will help SDF continue to innovate and support the San Diego region — forever.
We continued to work towards just, equitable and resilient communities. To advance racial and social justice, we launched the Black InGenius Initiative with the University of San Diego to advance the educational opportunity among rising sixth graders throughout San Diego County. To foster equity of opportunity, the Community Scholarship Program awarded a record-breaking $4 million to more than 1,000 local college students. To build resilient communities, we launched the Housing Fund to provide investment funds and partnerships focused on affordable and middle-income housing development. To deliver world-class philanthropy, we finalized our plans for the first San Diego Fundraising Conference that will educate and inspire 400 attendees from 250 nonprofit organizations throughout the region.
Our work to address the most significant needs of our community happens because of the many talented, caring people and partners who support it. From our donors and funders to our community-based organizations, universities and municipalities, we are educating, employing and housing San Diego together. This important work and collective impact is also made possible by our mission-driven Board of Governors and staff.
Thank you for all you have done — and will do — for our region. We look forward to growing our impact, together, in the coming year as we work towards a San Diego where everyone can thrive, prosper and feel like they belong.
