“Our goal at Mission Fed — and through the ‘Community is Everything’ Fund — is to improve the lives of San Diegans across the county,” said Doug Wright, CEO of Mission Fed. “We’re proud to support a range of organizations that make a meaningful impact every day and contribute to our community’s well-being.”

Mission Fed selected its grantees through an application process. MiraCosta Foundation and Interfaith Community Services each received $25,000, while an additional 24 organizations were awarded $10,000 or $5,000 grants. Recipients include:

The grant builds on Mission Fed’s “Community is Everything” fund, which launched in December 2024 with $225,000 awarded to nine nonprofit organizations across the county.

Future giving through the program will support emergency and disaster-related needs. In addition to the “Community is Everything” Fund, Mission Fed gives more than $1 million each year to the San Diego community.
