Dear Friends of The Parker Foundation,
This year, The Parker Foundation continued its commitment to improving the lives of San Diegans by supporting nonprofit organizations making a meaningful difference throughout our community. We are pleased to share that the Foundation awarded 69 grants totaling $2,525,400 to organizations dedicated to addressing important needs and creating lasting, positive change across San Diego County.
This year also brought the loss of our esteemed Director Emeritus, Paul Mosher, who faithfully served The Parker Foundation for almost three decades. Paul’s wisdom, generosity, and dedication to philanthropy helped shape the Foundation’s work and left a lasting impact on our organization. We are deeply grateful for his many years of service and proud to honor his legacy through the Paul and Kretia Mosher Fund, which will continue providing grants to organizations offering facilities and/or services to children and youth of San Diego County.
On behalf of The Parker Foundation, I extend my sincere appreciation to our dedicated volunteer Board Members and our Chief Administrative Officer, Lexy Harshman, for their continued leadership, thoughtful stewardship, and commitment to our mission. Their efforts, together with the outstanding work of our nonprofit partners, help strengthen the communities we are privileged to serve.
As I look to the year ahead, I remain committed to building upon the Foundation’s legacy of generosity and supporting organizations that make San Diego County a better place to live.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support.
Sincerely,
Ray Ellis
Board President
