Our Purpose and Vision
The La Jolla Community Foundation’s mission is to encourage civic engagement and pride through local philanthropy. Its purpose and vision are to:
- Foster a sense of community and connection among La Jollans
- Enrich the environmental, social and cultural experience of La Jolla by creating inviting public spaces for the purpose of bringing people together
- Enhance the aesthetic character of the community through investment in a variety of public art forms, such as sculpture, fountains and gardens
- Provide La Jolla community members a vehicle for legacy planning and gifts and encourage creation of special project funds that will benefit La Jolla, now and forever
Through affiliation with the San Diego Foundation, the La Jolla Community Foundation joins a network of membership-based community foundations whose purpose is to increase responsible and effective philanthropy in locally targeted areas.
