The Balboa Park Endowment at The San Diego Foundation is a group of permanent funds begun by concerned citizens in 1985. The principal will never be spent, with a portion of the earnings ensuring the continuous support of the Park.

The San Diego Foundation Balboa Park Endowment support the enrichment and enhancement of the Park and its cultural and recreational programs. Grants are recommended by a volunteer advisory committee made up of community leaders who are committed to the beautification and improvement of the Park. We also strive to foster public appreciation, understanding, and utilization of Balboa Park.

Our Projects
Projects that the Balboa Park Endowment Funds have supported include informational signs and interpretive kiosks, the restoration of historic plaques and fountains throughout the Park, and the restoration of and improvements to historic structures. Additional projects include horticultural surveys, the replacement of playground equipment and diseased Eucalyptus trees, annual events such as Buds ‘n Blooms and December Nights, and holiday floral displays in the Botanical Building.
