A heartfelt thank you to UC San Diego Associate of the Chancellor, Thespine Kavoulakis, for graciously hosting our President’s Circle Gathering yesterday at the beautiful Audrey Geisel University House. We came together to celebrate and honor President’s Circle member’s extraordinary commitment to the sustainability and impact of our organization. Your generous contributions of an additional $3,000 annually above your membership dues—helps us dream bigger and do more. Because of your support this year, we were able to strengthen our operating reserve, which in turn empowered our board and finance committee to expand our grantmaking. This allowed us to support two additional organizations in this grant cycle—two more missions advanced, two more communities uplifted, all thanks to you. If you’re interested in learning more about the President’s Circle or SDWF membership, please reach out to our Membership and Communications Specialist, Ahtziri Ayala, at aayala@sdfoundation.org.

Since then, she has served as Fellowship Committee Chair and joined the SDWF Board, demonstrating the kind of leadership and vision that keeps our mission thriving.
