Mission Statement
The mission of the Weingart-Price Fund is to build better communities by providing constructive assistance to people in need in San Diego and Imperial Counties.

History of the Weingart-Price Fund
In 1998, the Price Family Charitable Fund entered into a partnership with the Weingart Foundation (Los Angeles, CA) to establish a major charitable fund at The San Diego Foundation. The Weingart Foundation has been a major contributor to nonprofit organizations in San Diego for many years. By combining its efforts with the San Diego based Price Family Charitable Fund, the Weingart Foundation believes that its philanthropic efforts in San Diego and Imperial Counties will become even more effective.

Funding Guidelines
The Price Family Charitable Fund is the adviser to the Weingart-Price Fund. The following guidelines for funding requests have been established:

All donee recipients must be section 501(c)(3) qualified organizations.
Organizations receiving funds must be based in San Diego or Imperial Counties (California) and the funds must be expended for the benefit of residents in these two counties.

Grants will generally be made to:

Organizations which can demonstrate that they deliver their services effectively and efficiently;
Innovative and well-conceived pilot programs directed toward youth or the disadvantaged with special emphasis on those who live in City Heights (San Diego, CA).

Those requesting program grants or funds for pilot programs will need to demonstrate a capacity to measure and quantify results and, hopefully, have a reasonable chance of replication in other communities.

Grant Request Procedure
The Weingart-Price Fund accepts and processes requests for grants throughout the year. A qualifying organization may submit a brief letter to The San Diego Foundation containing a concise description of the organization, its needs for funds, the amount requested, the expected outcome if the grant is approved, what differentiates this program from others currently existing in the community and how the program will be evaluated.

Letters should be sent, along with a copy of the IRS charitable tax status determination letter, to:

The San Diego Foundation
