We are a membership organization, founded in the year 2000 with a vision of elevating women in philanthropy. Together, our 200+ members have made significant changes in the community through our annual grantmaking process.
We are currently accepting Letters of Inquiry from nonprofit organizations working to prevent and address senior isolation and loneliness in San Diego County.
The San Diego Women’s Foundation held a Grantseekers Forum on October 15 as an opportunity for potential applicants to gain insight into our Cycle 25 LOI guidelines, the application process, and our member-driven grants selection process.
All applicants are strongly encouraged to view the recording (passcode: 3@T@NDh!) before submitting a Letter of Inquiry.
Grant guidelines and LOI process overview available here.
