Collaboration Initiative

Launched in 2016 as part of SDWF Forward!, the Collaboration Initiative seeks to increase impact by partnering with other philanthropic funders. Separate from the annual grants process, investment opportunities are identified by a committee of contributing SDWF members, who pay $500 in additional dues towards the collaborative grants pool. If you are interested in joining this exciting effort, please contact Ahtziri Ayala at aayala@sdfoundation.org.

The Fellowship Program provides opportunities for mutual learning exchanges and strengthens the relationship between SDWF and Community Partner organizations.
