Our Approach to Grantmaking
Our grantmaking is guided by three principles:
1) Protecting the core
2) Solving big problems
3) Inventing the future San Diego deserves
We support and partner with the organizations making a difference in San Diego County in the areas of arts and culture, youth success, health & well-being, and medical research.
Guided by our three principles, we also fund strategic priority areas: Balboa Park, the Tijuana River Valley, revitalizing downtown, and uplifting nonprofit journalism.
Grantmaking Areas
Arts & culture play a vital role in creating social cohesion, economic opportunities, and a sense of belonging in San Diego.
The Prebys Foundation is committed to ensuring all San Diego youth are healthy, engaged, and prepared for the future.
Fostering a more collaborative, equitable, and innovative medical research system in San Diego.
Improving access to quality mental and physical healthcare for everyone.
Strategic Priority Areas
Downtown Revitalization
Reimagined as a welcoming civic and cultural district, the Downtown Civic Center can serve as a place where San Diegans live, learn, gather, create, and feel a stronger sense of belonging.
Tijuana River Pollution Crisis
Everyone deserves clean water, safe beaches, healthy air, and an environment where communities can thrive. Prebys supports community leaders, researchers, advocates, and public agencies working together to advance permanent solutions.
Healthy Civil Society
San Diegan should have access to trustworthy information, meaningful opportunities to participate in civic life, and confidence that the issues shaping their future are being reported with independence, rigor, and relevance.
Balboa Park
The crown jewel of San Diego, home to museums, the world famous San Diego Zoo, restaurants, gardens, and a central hub of creativity and culture, is an invaluable resource that should be preserved and accessible to all San Diegans and visitors to our beautiful region.
Supporting Nonprofits Beyond the Grant
Prebys invests in San Diego’s nonprofit community beyond grantmaking.
We strengthen the organizations, leaders, and systems that help our region thrive — because a healthy, sustainable nonprofit sector is essential to creating lasting impact.
Through BRIDGE, we invest in nonprofit leadership and capacity building. Through partnerships with the Nonprofit Institute and the Nonprofit Sustainability Initiative, we help make valuable resources, tools, and support available to nonprofit organizations across the region. And through our support for advocacy and sector-wide efforts, we work to advance policies and practices that strengthen the nonprofit ecosystem.
Together, these investments help build a stronger, more resilient nonprofit community — one better equipped to serve San Diegans today and for generations to come.
