WHAT: | The public is invited to attend a free screening of the documentary No Small Matter, followed by a community conversation about the importance of early childhood development and education.
The event, sponsored by The San Diego Foundation and Silicon Valley Community Foundation, highlights why early childhood care and education is essential to the health, development and future success of San Diego children and the regional economy. No Small Matter is a 70-minute documentary film. View the trailer. Those interested in attending must RSVP at SDFoundation.org/Events by Friday, April 12. |

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.
