A quick glimpse back on Steve's career while at The California Endowment...
Steve Eldred, after an illustrious career at The California Endowment is retiring! Steve has held many programmatic and leadership roles since he joined the Endowment’s San Diego Regional office in 2001, including serving as a Program Officer for community health in the San Diego/Orange County Border Region, Senior Program Manager for Building Healthy Communities in the City Heights neighborhood in central San Diego, and most recently as Managing Director for the Endowment’s South Region and statewide Health teams.
Steve’s leadership extended to many other organizations and efforts in San Diego, including serving as Board Chair of San Diego Grantmakers (now Catalyst of San Diego & Imperial Counties), where he co-founded the Social Equity Funders and Coming Home to Stay prison reentry workgroups.
We know Steve to be a tenacious and dedicated leader, full of humor and good will, and with a remarkable ability to connect with many people in service of health, justice and belonging. We send him our good wishes for a wonderful future!
