Donate
Thank you for considering establishing a scholarship fund or donating to an existing fund at The San Diego Foundation. Your contribution is a gift for our future leaders, as well as our entire region!
Creating a Scholarship Fund is as Easy as 1-2-3
1. Decide When to Give
You can create your scholarship fund now, establish it through your will or create it through a trust arrangement. Tax deductions are earned at the time of your gift, while scholarships awarded continue into the future. You and your family members, colleagues and employees are encouraged to continue to give to the fund over time to help it grow.
2. Decide What to Give
Almost any kind of asset may be used to start your scholarship fund, including cash, publicly traded securities, closely held stock, interests in limited partnerships, real estate, life insurance, personal property and private foundation assets.
3. Choose the Name of your Scholarship Fund
Scholarship funds can be created to honor or memorialize someone special, to honor the passions of an individual, or on behalf of a business or organization. Whatever the reason, the scholarship will carry the name you choose.
If you prefer anonymity, you may choose a name that reflects your charitable purposes.
