About Planned Parenthood Pacific Southwest
Planned Parenthood Pacific Southwest centers its grantmaking on reproductive rights and access, with a recent pattern dominated by operational support for organizations working on abortion access, contraception, sexual health education, STI/HIV testing and prevention, and related advocacy. The largest recent award in the data was $675,000 to Planned Parenthood Action Fund of the Pacific Southwest in 2024 for operational support, following a $625,000 operational grant to the same recipient in 2023. Another significant grant went to Protect Constitutional Abortion Rights, which received $185,000 in 2024 for operational support. That combination points to a funder that supports both its own affiliated advocacy work and outside groups engaged in reproductive health policy and access. The foundation’s recent giving also shows consistent support for community-based organizations in Southern California, including groups serving LGBTQ communities, immigrant communities, and local health and justice needs. Across the recent grants listed, the common thread is unrestricted or operational funding tied to organizations working within the foundation’s stated reproductive health mission.
What Planned Parenthood Pacific Southwest Funds
In reproductive rights advocacy, the foundation backed Protect Constitutional Abortion Rights with $185,000 in 2024 for operational support. It also supported California Latinas for Reproductive Justice with $10,000 in both 2023 and 2024, again as operational support, tying its funding to advocacy rooted in Latina communities. For LGBTQ-serving work, grants went to the Lgbt Community Center of the Desert in Palm Springs, the Transgender Health and Wellness Center in Palm Springs, and the San Diego Black Lgbtq Coalition, all for operational support. Health and human services also appear in the grant list through Refugee Health Alliance in La Jolla, Calexico Wellness Center in Calexico, and Family Health & Support Network in Palm Springs. The foundation’s focus areas and recent grants align around reproductive health access, sexual health education, and community-based support organizations.
How Planned Parenthood Pacific Southwest Gives
The typical grant size is tightly clustered at $10,000, with p25, median, and p75 all at that level. Recent giving is a mix of a few much larger operational grants and many uniform $10,000 awards, suggesting a pattern of core support rather than project-specific funding. The recent list shows repeated recipients across years, including Planned Parenthood Action Fund of the Pacific Southwest, California Latinas for Reproductive Justice, Project New Village, and Womanhaven. The foundation is a nonprofit operating in the Planned Parenthood network rather than a donor-advised fund or family foundation, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
