Nonprofits are an essential part of San Diego. They cater to the ever-changing and unique needs of our community. The San Diego Foundation values our nonprofit sector, and the work of these organizations to enhance San Diego. We understand that a thriving nonprofit sector is important to the success of San Diego.
The 2010 Community Needs Report highlights the organizations that have portraits in BetterGiving (as of November 2010) and their most pressing needs whether they are volunteer needs or financial support for operations and/or specific programs. We encourage you to learn more about the organizations and their needs. The Community Needs Report is segmented into the different types of nonprofits that serve our community including: Animal Advocacy, Arts, Culture and Humanities, Community Improvement, Education, Environment, Health and Human Services, Public Safety and Disaster and Youth Development. All of the current needs listed come directly from the nonprofits in our community and are in their voice. Please support these organizations as they provide essential programs and services to our community.
The San Diego Foundation is committed to connecting donors’ passion with nonprofit needs. BetterGiving, a new online resource, helps us do just that with its easy search capability and access to “portraits” of nearly 250 organizations that make our community a better place to live. A portrait contains information on the organization’s leadership, programs, needs, accomplishments and financials.
