Del Mar Foundation
Founded in 1982, the Del Mar Foundation is Del Mar’s community foundation and its oldest 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We sponsor a wide range of programs and events, make community grants, and manage over $9 million in endowment and reserve funds to support the Del Mar community’s long-term needs, as well as those of other Del Mar non-profits and the San Dieguito Lagoon.
Programs and community events the Foundation sponsors include the Summer Twilight Concerts, First Thursdays subscription series, Bluegrass and Beyond concerts, DMF Talks, as well as the July 4th Parade, Easter Egg Hunt, Community Picnic, and Halloween Dog Parade.
As we work to inform and inspire the Del Mar community, we welcome your participation and support.
Mission
The mission of the Del Mar Foundation is to promote civic pride and cohesiveness, acquire and preserve open space, improve beaches and parklands, raise and grant funds, and sponsor diverse cultural programs and community events in Del Mar.

Summer is fast-approaching, and DMF has four great Twilight Concerts planned. Add these dates to your calendar, and join your friends, family, and neighbors for four summer nights filled with fun, dancing, and fantastic music.
