About the North County Philanthropy Council

The Philanthropy Council is an association of professionals, board members and volunteers of nonprofit organizations serving North San Diego County communities. Membership in the council is open to all organizations and individuals interested in philanthropy.

The Philanthropy Council was founded in the mid 1980's by 38 organizations and individuals who recognized that the North San Diego County nonprofit community was in need of a resource that would help promote philanthropy. Today, with a membership of over 150, the Council continues to fulfill its mission by providing education and training in fundraising and leadership development, promoting the values of philanthropy, fostering communication among those in the nonprofit sector and recognizing individuals whose efforts have "made a difference" in our communities.
