March 8, 2018 – San Diego, CA – On Monday, March 12, the Clinton Foundation, The San Diego Foundation, and County of San Diego will convene key thought leaders and local stakeholders to launch a detailed plan to improve the health and well-being of children and families in the San Diego region.
The “Strong Families, Thriving Communities Blueprint for Action” focuses on increasing equity and effectiveness for families who interact with San Diego’s child welfare and juvenile justice systems by aligning policies, practices, and resources.
The Blueprint for Action model is being implemented by the Clinton Foundation Health Matters Initiative (CHMI). The model is currently adopted in areas across the country, including Adams County, Mississippi; Central Arkansas; Knox County, Illinois; Northeast Florida; and Greater Houston, Texas. The Coachella Valley of California recently completed its five-year Blueprint and is continuing to work to improve health and wellness. See more information about the results here and here.
In March 2017, CHMI, The San Diego Foundation, and the County of San Diego announced that San Diego would be the seventh community to join CHMI’s Community Health Transformation portfolio.
For the past year, representatives from CHMI, The San Diego Foundation, and the County of San Diego engaged with more than 100 community partners – the Strong Families, Thriving Communities Coalition – in a process that identified key challenges and solutions through bold action steps for children and families involved in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems.

Building on a lifetime of public service, President Clinton established the Clinton Foundation on the simple belief that everyone deserves a chance to succeed, everyone has a responsibility to act, and we all do better when we work together. For nearly two decades, that premise has energized the work of the Foundation in overcoming complex challenges and improving the lives of people across the United States and around the world.
As an operating foundation, we work on issues directly or with strategic partners from the business, government, and nonprofit sectors to create economic opportunity, improve public health, and inspire civic engagement and service. Our programs are
designed to make a real difference today while serving as proven models for tomorrow. The goal of every effort is to use available resources to get better results faster – at the lowest possible cost.
We firmly believe that when diverse groups of people bring resources together in the spirit of true cooperation, transformative ideas will emerge to drive life-changing action.

On August 9, 2022, we awarded $838,704 in Opening the Outdoors grants to 24 nonprofit organizations that offer equitable access to outdoor spaces in San Diego County.
“San Diego Foundation is proud to once again support its partners committed to increasing community-driven efforts to enhance accessible outdoor space, encourage youth to learn more through hands-on education and create the next generation of environmental stewards in the San Diego region,” said Christiana DeBenedict, SDF Director of Environment Initiatives.
This year’s grantees will help address these inequities and enhance access to the outdoors throughout San Diego County.
