Stephanie Cook, the Executive Director of the San Diego Women’s Foundation talks about how the organization was founded as a supporting branch of the San Diego Organization to connect, educate, and inspire women to come together in collective philanthropy. This allows donors who want to give back to the community to pool resources together and make a more significant impact. Aiming to spotlight and uplift talented organizations, the San Diego Women’s Foundation awards annual grants based on a focus area chosen by the foundation members. Stephanie discusses how the foundation has evolved in recent years from accommodations during the pandemic to different efforts to increase the diversity of their members.
