THOUSANDS GRANTED TO LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP SAN DIEGO WOMEN AND GIRLS
Women Give San Diego Releases the Results of its First Ever Granting Cycle
(SAN DIEGO) – It is with great pleasure that Women Give San Diego, a donor’s circle of the Women’s Foundation of California, announces it will provide $46,000 in total funding to three local organizations committed to increasing the level of self‐sufficiency and security among San Diego’s women and girls. The nonprofit grantees will receive the funding over a period of two years. They are:
• Just in Time for Foster Youth and its Career Horizons for Young Women program, which supports young women in their transition from foster care to independent adulthood
• Dress for Success, which assists low‐income women with job acquisition, job retention, career building and life management
• Supportive Parents Information Network (SPIN), promoting self‐sufficiency through emergency loan funding, access to banking opportunities, the development of a community
market and parent advocacy efforts
In just a little more than one year since its official launch, 75 women have become members of Women Give San Diego. 40% are under the age of 40, helping to emphasize the importance of
engaging in philanthropy for women’s causes in every generation. "We are so pleased by the progress and success of Women Give San Diego over our first year,” said
Jan Tuttleman, founding president. “The impact of our granting to these great San Diego organizations will be felt far and wide. They will not only improve the lives of women and girls in
our community, but will also give them the ability to help their families and, by extension, strengthen their communities. We welcome anyone who wants to join our organization and help
us make a difference in the lives of women and girls in San Diego."
Women throughout the county are encouraged to learn about the various options for membership
and involvement in this dynamic and valuable organization. For more information, visit
