The San Diego Foundation is expanding its regional reach and impact with the addition of three new Board of Governors members, bringing fresh expertise spanning government, higher education, and business to one of the region’s most prominent philanthropic organizations.

The announcement, made Tuesday, July 28, signals a continued commitment by the Foundation to broaden its leadership bench and deepen its connections across San Diego’s diverse sectors. By drawing new governors from government, academia, and the business community, the Foundation is positioning itself to better serve the wide range of communities and causes it supports throughout the region.

The San Diego Foundation has long played a central role in connecting donors with local nonprofits, funding community initiatives, and championing civic projects that improve quality of life across San Diego County. Expanding the Board of Governors with leaders from multiple fields reflects the organization’s recognition that tackling the region’s most pressing challenges requires a variety of perspectives and networks.

The addition of voices from higher education is particularly noteworthy, as universities and colleges are key partners in workforce development, research, and community engagement throughout the county. Meanwhile, representation from government and business ensures the Foundation remains closely attuned to both public-sector priorities and private-sector opportunities for collaboration and investment.

With these three new members joining its Board of Governors, the San Diego Foundation is well-equipped to continue growing its impact — connecting resources, ideas, and people in ways that benefit neighborhoods and residents across the entire region for years to come.
