The Foundation is the largest grant maker in San Diego. Guided by our mission, we awarded more than $67 million last year:

 

  • 5,000 grants
  • to 1,200 organizations
  • in San Diego, the U.S., Israel and worldwide

To reduce the impact of the current economic crisis on members of the San Diego Jewish community, the Foundation and the United Jewish Federation of San Diego County have jointly established the San Diego Jewish Community Economic Recovery Fund.
