ABOUT US
DMWGC, a 501(c)3 charitable organization, was founded in the winter of 2018 by Lani Curtis with the goal that still holds true today, to encourage next-generation donors to think strategically about their philanthropy and to inspire meaningful generosity and participation within our community. As members, we participate as a community of neighbors and friends, learning together about the needs within our broader San Diego County community and collectively work to meet those needs.
Since DMWGC’s founding, the organization has provided almost $500,000 in grants to charities in San Diego County
