The Daniel & Barbara Weber Family Charitable Foundation concentrates its giving locally in San Diego, prioritizing youth development through substantial support for Boys & Girls Club affiliates and environmental advocacy via grants to the Sierra Club. Their funding pattern emphasizes a small number of sizable gifts to a few repeat grantees rather than broad, diversified giving.
Concentrated giving: a small number of relatively large grants focused on repeat funding to a few core organizations (notably multiple grants to Boys & Girls Club affiliates and the Sierra Club).
Boys and Girls Club (multiple grants), Boys and Girls Club of Greater San Diego, Sierra Club
A small set of large, unrestricted gifts defines the Daniel & Barbara Weber Family Charitable Foundation’s recent grantmaking. The biggest awards in the record go to San Diego youth-serving organizations, led by $63,904 in 2024 and $59,720 in 2025 to Boys and Girls Club, plus $51,218 in 2024 and $50,000 in 2023 to Boys and Girls Club of Greater San Diego. Those grants sit alongside meaningful support for environmental advocacy, including $34,525 in 2023 and $12,080 in 2024 to the Sierra Club, both in San Diego. The pattern suggests a foundation that backs a few organizations repeatedly rather than spreading funds widely across many recipients. The foundation’s support is largely unrestricted, which appears throughout the grant list and aligns with the emphasis on flexible operating support. Its giving also reaches beyond the largest checks to a smaller set of local civic and community institutions, such as San Diego Food Bank, University of San Diego, and Scripps Health Foundation. Even when grant sizes are modest, the recipients point to a consistent interest in youth development, community services, and environmental causes centered in San Diego.
Youth development is the clearest theme in the grant record. The foundation gave $63,904 in 2024 to Boys and Girls Club and $51,218 in 2024 to Boys and Girls Club of Greater San Diego, both unrestricted. It also supported Boys and Girls Club of Greator San Diego with $50,000 in 2023, showing repeat backing for the same service area over multiple years. Environmental advocacy is the other major line of giving. In San Diego, the foundation awarded $34,525 in 2023 to Sierra Club and $12,080 in 2024 to Sierra Club, both unrestricted. Beyond those core areas, the foundation also funded local basic-needs and community institutions, including $1,500 in 2024 to San Diego Food Bank and $1,000 in 2025 to Polinsky Childrens Center.
Typical grant sizes are small, with a p25 of $53, a median of $103, and a p75 of $500, even though the annual grant total is driven by a handful of much larger awards. The record shows repeated support to the same organizations across years, including Boys and Girls Club, Boys and Girls Club of Greater San Diego, and Sierra Club. The foundation operates as a family charitable foundation and gives unrestricted support across the board. There is no sign of a public application process in the data provided.

The recipient-country distribution is entirely U.S.-based, with 67 grants going to U.S. organizations and no non-U.S. countries appearing in the record.
The record is centered on youth development and after-school programming, especially Boys and Girls Club affiliates in San Diego. It also includes environmental advocacy through Sierra Club grants, plus community-serving institutions such as food banks, a child-focused center, health foundations, and a humane society.
The recent grants are consistently marked unrestricted. That pattern appears across the largest awards and the smaller gifts in the record, indicating a preference for flexible support rather than project-only funding.
Yes. Boys and Girls Club appears in multiple years, including 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Sierra Club appears in 2023 and 2024. The repeated grants suggest ongoing relationships with a small set of recipients.
