UPAC is honored to share that we’ve received a 2025 Unity Fund grant from the San Diego Foundation!
“In light of recent funding cuts, this bridge support arrives at a pivotal moment for our Community Violence Response Team,” said Wendy Urushima-Conn, UPAC President and CEO, in a recent 10News San Diego report. “It ensures we can continue standing with families in their most challenging moments by providing trauma intervention, strengthened case management and housing navigation services. We appreciate the foundation’s ongoing commitment to anticipating and responding to the evolving needs of our community.”
The $175,000 grant from the San Diego Foundation (SDF) will support the Community Violence Response Team’s work of providing immediate and long-term crisis and community violence intervention and support throughout San Diego County, which includes offering emotional support, resources and referrals for those who have suffered acts of violence, and grief support services.
“This recognition reflects the strength of our partnerships and, most importantly, the dedication and commitment of our volunteers and leaders,” added Wendy. “We are deeply grateful for the San Diego Foundation’s support!”
