The work and impact of San Diego nonprofits is important to advance a vibrant quality of life in the San Diego region, especially as our community organizations respond to and recover from the COVID-19 health and economic crisis. To support those efforts, we’re sharing information every month about current funding opportunities, resources and helpful tools to support our nonprofit community.
The San Diego Foundation, Mission Driven Finance, and other partners recently formed a public-private partnership to create the San Diego County COVID-19 Small Business and Nonprofit Loan Program (SBNLP), an initiative that provides low-to-no interest loans to nonprofit organizations and aids in the region’s economic recovery from the coronavirus.
Nonprofits interested in learning more are encouraged to attend an online information session Friday, June 12 at 2:30pm. To register for the informational webinar or apply for loan funding, visit SanDiegoSBNLP.org.

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.
