President’s Message

Dear Friends of the Parker Foundation,

In 2025, the Parker Foundation continued its work of improving the lives of San Diegans by supporting nonprofit organizations across the county. This year, we awarded 59 grants, totaling $2,572,500, to organizations dedicated to creating meaningful and lasting change.

This year, we were also pleased to welcome Brad Lupien to our Board of Directors. Brad’s leadership and experience will bring valuable perspective as we continue to grow and evolve.

On behalf of the Parker Foundation, I extend heartfelt thanks to our dedicated volunteer Board Members and to our Chief Administrative Officer, Lexy Harshman, for their vision and commitment. Together, with the support of our community, we are shaping a brighter future for San Diego County.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We look forward to the year ahead and the opportunities it will bring.

Sincerely,

Ray Ellis
Board President
