Nonprofit leaders, fundraisers, and changemakers will gather at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront on Thursday, September 18 and Friday, September 19, 2025, for the San Diego Fundraising Conference, presented by PNC Bank and hosted by San Diego Foundation. This two-day, in-person event is one of the region’s best opportunities to connect with fundraising experts, gain fresh insights and build relationships with local colleagues who are driving impact in San Diego.
We’re thrilled to take part in the action. You’ll be able to find us at the Uptown 11 Studios booth, where we’re eager to meet nonprofit leaders, community organizations, and fellow partners who are shaping the future of philanthropy. It’s our first time exhibiting anywhere, and we’ll have some fun Uptown gear available for anyone willing to share their stories with us at the event.
This isn’t just about fundraising strategies – it’s about storytelling, community and building lasting partnerships. San Diego Foundation has been a longtime leader in bringing local organizations together to tackle regional challenges. This event is no different — bringing together voices from across the nonprofit sector to share best practices and fresh ideas.
For us, it’s also a chance to celebrate our non-profit partners across San Diego. The organizations we tell stories with are integral parts of San Diego’s future and its residents’ well-being. As we help them with advocacy efforts, media campaigns and fundraising events, we’ve seen how powerful storytelling and strategic partnerships can strengthen communities.
We know that every nonprofit has a story worth telling — and we want to hear yours. Stop by our booth during the conference to connect with us. Whether you’re focused on expanding your fundraising reach, amplifying your impact, or finding new ways to engage your community, we are here to help bring your story to life.
See You There!
