DAVID MALCOLM FAMILY TRUST

David Malcolm and his wife, Annie, established the David Malcolm Family Trust as a donor-advised fund at the San Diego Foundation in 2013. Although they have supported a variety of nonprofit organizations in the San Diego region, a particular focus of their philanthropy is youth and education.

David is a San Diego-based entrepreneur, real estate expert and community leader. As he has enjoyed professional success, he has simultaneously pursued public and community service. He served on the boards of directors of numerous organizations, including the Corky McMillin Center for Real Estate at San Diego State University, the American Cancer Society San Diego, South Bay Family YMCA and St. Vincent de Paul Management (an arm of Father Joe’s Villages), which he sat on for 32 years, four of those years as Chair.

Through the Family Trust, the Malcolms have contributed to the Grossmont Hospital Foundation, South Bay Community Services and the Zoological Society of San Diego, among others. In 2021, they made a significant gift to the San Diego Foundation’s Community Scholars Initiative and separately established the David Malcolm Scholarship. The latter is to help college students who have faced adversity and obstacles to achieve their educational goals.

David and Annie Malcolm believe in providing a variety of opportunities for youth, including mentoring programs, and also support two gymnasiums and other youth-focused organizations. In 2021, they celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary.
