SDcommunities is an innovative web portal designed and developed by the San Diego Futures Foundation to empower San Diegans to actively participate in their communities through the sharing of community and civic information or through community news and events.

SDcommunities provides citizens with valuable government, educational, nonprofit, and private sector resources located close to home and throughout the county, state and nation.

SDcommunities is a project of the San Diego Futures Foundation. Supporters of this project include Microsoft Corporation, Dell Computer, Computer Sciences Corporation, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), SBC, Avaya Inc., the County of San Diego, Cox Communications, and the City Heights Community Technology Center.

Thanks to a donation from Microsoft, SDcommunities was developed on Microsoft's ASP.NET platform using SQL Server, the C# programming language, and Windows Server.

Thanks to a donation from Dell, SDcommunities is hosted on one single-processor and two multiprocessor Dell PowerEdge Servers. Dell also provided the server rack, peripherals, and five dedicated workstations for research and development.

Dedicated Internet service is provided by Cox Communications. Additional research and development support is provided by the City Heights Community Technology Center.
