Together, they have granted more than $5 million to charitable organizations throughout San Diego County. In June 2025, SDWF members awarded $240,000 in multi-year, unrestricted funding to four outstanding organizations tackling a critical issue: senior isolation and loneliness—a growing challenge linked to serious health risks and reduced quality of life among older adults. The grantees—Bayside Community Center, ElderHelp, Casa Familiar, and Serving Seniors—offer vital programs such as social engagement activities, home visits, and support services designed to reconnect isolated seniors and promote well-being. Through these grants and ongoing efforts, SDWF continues its commitment to fostering a stronger, healthier community where all members—especially vulnerable seniors—can thrive.
