As Director of Community Scholarships, Danielle oversees the overall vision, planning and management of the Community Scholarships Program, which annually awards more than $3.5 million to San Diego college students. She works to implement strategic direction, generate new funds and champion the advancement of educational equity for scholarship recipients - the majority of whom are first-generation, low-income and underrepresented.
Danielle started at SDF in May 2011, providing local nonprofit organizations with services and tools to help increase their sustainability, and served as donor manager for more than 300 nonprofit funds.
Prior to joining SDF, Danielle worked at the Muscular Dystrophy Association, where she managed a healthcare services program for more than 1,000 patient families. Danielle earned both her bachelor's master’s degrees in cultural anthropology from the UC San Diego.
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.
