San Diego Women's Foundation
About San Diego Women's Foundation
The San Diego Women's Foundation connects, educates and inspires women to come together in collective philanthropy.
Inspired by an idea, a small group of San Diego volunteers recognized changing patterns in women’s giving and envisioned an organization that would promote the leadership of women in philanthropy.
Like women in several other major U.S. cities, these community leaders sought opportunities to learn about critical issues facing the region and make a difference. In 2000 they founded the San Diego Women’s Foundation to strengthen and improve women’s capacities to engage in significant philanthropy in San Diego.
Founded as a supporting organization of The San Diego Foundation, SDWF has grown to an organization of more than 200 members.
