At the Board Meeting in September, The San Diego Foundation's Board of Governors approved 155 grant recommendations from Donor Advised funds, a total amount of $1,038,571, to a number of organizations in San Diego County.

These grants will serve a variety of purposes in several areas, including arts and culture, health and human services, employment and economic development, and education.
