SDWF Holiday Party with a Purpose 2026

Join us for a heartwarming holiday celebration! The San Diego Women’s Foundation invites you to our Holiday Party with a Purpose, a festive gathering featuring the International Rescue Committee, our Cycle 26 Community Partner dedicated to expanding affordable, accessible, and high-quality child care for infants and toddlers. We’ll come together to celebrate the season, give back to our community, and support a wonderful cause.

Through its Steps program, the IRC in San Diego helps refugee and immigrant women start and grow licensed, home-based child care businesses. Participants receive training, individualized coaching, licensing assistance, and support with business planning and access to capital. This approach creates sustainable economic opportunities for women while increasing the availability of trusted, culturally and linguistically responsive child care in communities where it is needed most.

This holiday season, monetary donations are especially critical and can have an immediate impact on the IRC’s ability to support its clients and programs.

We encourage guests to make a contribution directly to the IRC using this link.

Every gift can help create new opportunities for local families and strengthen the communities they call home. Together, we can share the spirit of the season and make a meaningful difference.

Please note: This event is open to SDWF members and their guests only. Registration is required, and festive attire is encouraged.
