The San José Police Foundation
Our History
Est. 2006
ABOUT THE SAN JOSÉ POLICE FOUNDATION Founded in 2006, the San José Police Foundation is an independent nonprofit organization that brings together residents, businesses, community leaders and supporters to help meet needs that fall outside the City’s regular police budget. For two decades, SJPF has raised funds to support programs, equipment, technology and initiatives that strengthen the San José Police Department and support the officers who serve our community.
Our Mission
Our mission is to enhance public safety, strengthen police-community relationships and provide resources that help San José police officers better serve our community.
Bridging the Gap
City funding provides the foundation for policing in San José, but important needs can arise beyond the regular municipal budget. Through the generosity of our donors and community partners, SJPF helps bridge that gap.
Our Community. Our Officers. Our Impact.
From specialized equipment and technology to K9 programs, scholarships, officer wellness and other critical initiatives, every contribution helps us invest in a safer, stronger San José.
Community Support. Real Impact.
Support from residents, businesses, and community leaders helps turn unmet needs into resources for SJPD officers and the communities they serve.
