Letter from the Founder

Dear Fellow San Diegans:
The Thomas C. Ackerman Foundation has made grants to hundreds of organizations in the San Diego region; making a difference in this wonderful community we are all fortunate enough to call our home.

The Foundation strongly supports programs emphasizing K through 12th grade education programs, particularly those programs which focus on the admission to college of traditionally under served youth.

Collaboration is an important component of our grant-consideration process. We have had a long-held interest in funding collaborative initiatives that address areas of need in which we have made grants in the past. The Foundation will continue to seek out these opportunities, including particularly, efforts by potential grant recipients to pool resources and work together.

All of us who are on the Board are proud to have the opportunity to serve the San Diego community through the ongoing activities of the Foundation.

Robert G. Copeland
