COMMUNITY PHILANTHROPY FOCUS

The Foundation supports primary and secondary educational programs in the areas of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). We also fund educational programs at major Arts and Cultural institutions in San Diego County. Please note that the ResMed Foundation does not fund free tickets or admissions, preferring to fund specific programs with specific recognition, even if the recognition is shared with others.

For examples of organizations that have been funded, please refer to Grant Recipients.
