The work and impact of San Diego nonprofits is important to advance a vibrant quality of life in the San Diego region. To support your efforts, we’re sharing valuable information every month about upcoming workshops, events, fundraising opportunities and resources with your organization.
The San Diego COVID-19 Community Response Fund receives donations and makes rapid response grants to nonprofits that are working on the frontlines of the coronavirus public health and economic crisis to provide our region’s most vulnerable communities with assistance. To date, the Fund has received $14.2 million in donations and granted $9.9 million to more than 90 local nonprofit organizations. The San Diego Foundation is accepting applications for COVID-19 Community Response Fund grants from San Diego nonprofit organizations providing our region’s most vulnerable communities with assistance in the areas of food security, other essential living expenses, emergent needs, and rent and utility payment support. Please note that grants to nonprofits are made on a rolling basis. As fundraising continues through the outbreak and recovery phases of the crisis, the Fund will adapt to emerging needs as the situation evolves.
The San Diego Foundation, San Diego County Board of Supervisors, and other partners have also formed a public-private partnership to create the San Diego County COVID-19 Small Business and Nonprofit Loan Program (SBNLP), an initiative that provides interest-free loans to nonprofit organizations and aids in the region’s economic recovery from the coronavirus.
Nonprofit organizations serving or in San Diego County interested in funding can learn more at 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.
This year’s grantees will help address these inequities and enhance access to the outdoors throughout San Diego County.
