MISSION SUPPORT
By providing multi-year, unrestricted, core operating support to nonprofit organizations closest to those in need, grantees are able to do the most good for their community.  

San Diego Mission Support funding ranges from $25,000 to $100,000 per recipient annually for up to three years. Organizations may use the funds we provide as they see fit, allowing them to apply the funds in a way that best meets the most pressing needs of the people they serve.

San Diego Mission Support applications will open this summer:
Applications open: July 5, 2023
Applications close: September 15, 2023
Awards announced: January 2024

Partner: Imperial Valley Wellness Foundation (IVWF)

Imperial Valley Wellness Foundation‘s (IVWF) Mission Support 2022 program has closed its applications and will reopen in 2023. In 2022, funding ranged from $5,000 to $25,000 per recipient, totaling $200,000. Organizations primarily serving Imperial Valley were invited to apply for funding in the following three areas: 1) Health and Wellness, 2) Community Engagement, and 3) Nonprofit Capacity Building. 2023 Imperial County Mission Support will open mid-2023.
