ICYMI on KPBS Midday Edition: The San Diego Foundation day received $100 million on Feb. 2, 2023, from the estate of the late local entrepreneur Jay Kahn, the largest gift of its kind ever given to a San Diego nonprofit.

"Jay Kahn was a compassionate man who loved San Diego and wished for his legacy and estate to be used for the good of San Diego," Mark Stuart, president and CEO of San Diego Foundation, said in a statement."We had no existing relationship with Jay until we learned that he believed San Diego Foundation would achieve his goal and honor his wishes.
The intent of the initial grants is to"grow music appreciation" in San Diego in memory of Kahn, a classical musician who played clarinet in symphonies at UC San Diego and University of San Diego.
