SDTC’s San Diego Gives 2023
What is San Diego Gives?
San Diego Gives is a year-round program that promotes nonprofit sustainability and donor education. In 2023, efforts culminate in an online, region-wide Day of Giving September 7, followed by a Day of Volunteer Service on September 8. More than 300 nonprofits are participating. Be sure to save these dates!
Now in its third year, the program shines a light on local, pressing needs and the impactful responses of our nonprofit community via robust communications, an interactive website, volunteer opportunities, and an online crowdfunding campaign. All funds raised remain in San Diego to bolster our region. Last year, $1,008,674 was raised for 327 nonprofits and thousands of donors were engaged, with many making first-time gifts.
