The San Diego Women’s Foundation (SDWF) will hold the 23rd Annual Grants Celebration on Wednesday, June 28 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at San Diego Central Library (330 Park Blvd, San Diego, CA 92101). SDWF invites the public to join as they honor the impact of Community Partners and award over $200,000 in grants to support early childhood education. The evening will begin with a cocktail hour, followed by a speaking program and the grant awards.
The speaking program will highlight the impact of SDWF’s most recent grantees’ efforts to provide sustainable and community-centered solutions to food insecurity. In addition, Keynote Speaker and Executive Director of First 5 San Diego, Alethea Arguilez, will share her more than 20 years of experience in the field of early childhood education and discuss the critical needs and impact of efforts to provide quality education opportunities for youth from under-resourced communities.
Since the foundation began in 2000, SDWF has given out over $4.8 million in grants and touched the lives of nearly 90,000 people. This event will showcase the impact and successes that the grants have on the community and illustrate the many programs SDWF has supported during its 23 years of granting.
The event is sponsored by US Bank, San Diego Foundation, LPL Financial, and Symbio Financial Partners. For sponsorship opportunities, please contact Stephanie Cook at stephaniec@sdfoundation.org for details.
