WHAT: | A coalition of San Diego leaders will announce the creation of the Black Community Investment Fund, a new fund administered by The San Diego Foundation that will invest in community-led, innovative efforts that increase racial equity and generational wealth for Black San Diegans.
The announcement will be made at a press conference on September 24 where leaders will outline the goals of the fund and announce the creation of the Dr. Wilma Wooten Courage Scholarship, which will support the education pillar of the fund and honor the San Diego County Public Health Officer for her leadership. |
WHY: | COVID-19 has deepened racial inequity in many aspects of society. The events of 2020 have shined a light on systemic racism, especially as it impacts Black communities. As San Diegans look for ways to make an impact, the Black Community Investment Fund provides a new opportunity for philanthropists to help make San Diego County a better, stronger and more equitable region. |
WHEN: | Thursday, September 24, 2020 10:30 a.m. |
WHERE: | Elementary Institute of Science 608 51st St. San Diego, CA 92114 (Physical distancing will be in effect; face coverings are required) |

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.
