After 14 years of impact, Women Give San Diego is sunsetting. Gayle Tauber, Linda Katz and Jan Tuttleman co-founded WGSD, with a shared vision to support women and girls in San Diego, especially those who have been traditionally and historically invisible. Collectively, WGSD has granted nearly $2M into the greater San Diego community, supporting women and girls’ economic self-sufficiency. Supporters of this important organization, including Nancy Spector, Amy Blum, Shawn McClondon, Emma Rose, Lee and Kea, and Caitlin Radigan, came together at the offices of SDG&E for one last time to celebrate the founders and all the great work they have done for San Diego.
