About the San Diego Taxpayers Educational Foundation
The San Diego Taxpayers Educational Foundation (SDTEF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 1988 with the purpose of conducting studies and researching activities for the support and benefit of the San Diego County Taxpayers Association (SDCTA). SDTEF also partners with local colleges and universities to facilitate courses targeted toward local elected officials, public officeholders, and municipal employees.

SDTEF also serves as the convening and facilitating body for the Public Regional Outcomes Standards Initiative.

About the San Diego County Taxpayers Association
SDCTA is San Diego's non-profit, non-partisan, local public policy think tank and government watchdog group. We work to reduce the need for tax revenue or taxpayer debt by advocating for policies that create efficiencies in public services, which affect San Diegans’ quality of life and against policies that disengage, disaffect, and disenfranchise the taxpayer.

Join SDCTA to get access to exclusive events like the SDCTA Golden Awards and make your voice heard in San Diego public policy!
