2026 Scholarship Applications are opening soon!

The Allgire Foundation is excited to open another round of scholarships to committed San Diego students impacted by affordable housing. We’re proud to help students on their academic journeys. Look for the Scholarship portal to open in the coming weeks! 

Spring Harvest 2026 was a success!

Another Spring Harvest is in the books! Spring Harvest 2026 was our most successful Spring Harvest to date. With the help of 500+ caring volunteers, we packaged over 280,000 individual pieces of fruits and vegetables in less than 3 hours! Residents in hundreds of affordable housing communities in San Diego got a welcome bag full of fresh produce! Thank you to everyone that showed up and it goes to show you what the power of volunteering can do!

Bringing Industry Leaders Together

The Allgire Surf Ranch is a unique and exceptional setting that provides the space for creative and critical thinking about affordable housing. The Allgire Surf Ranch Affordable Housing Conference 2025 allowed industry leaders to strengthen connections and engage in authentic and meaningful discussions about affordable housing.

Grand Openings Welcome Residents Home

Each Grand Opening is a reminder that small comforts can make a big difference. We provide the essentials that make daily life possible—pots and pans, dishes, silverware, trash cans, cleaning supplies, hygiene items, and more. By easing the burden of these basic needs, we help families and individuals start fresh with confidence and stability.

Our Story

Allgire General Contractors has been building affordable housing for more than 36 years, doing its best to remain a strong, positive force in the community. With the retirement of founders Rick and Mary Ann Allgire in 2020, the company’s passionate team created the Allgire Foundation to give back to the affordable housing communities where they live, build and play.

Featured Grand Openings

We’ve been able to provide over 1,350 residents in 21 new affordable housing communities with important and often-overlooked essentials through our Grand Opening Move In Kit program. With Allgire General Contractors’ funding and resources, our move in kits have become more robust than ever before and provide a helping hand as residents of affordable housing move into their new homes.

Spring Harvest 2026

The goals for this Allgire’s Spring Harvest 2026 were BIGGER and BETTER! Thanks to 500+ dedicated and passionate volunteers, we shattered those goals! While shining a spotlight on food insecurities and the incredibly high cost of eating healthy, team Allgire, affordable housing developers, architects, engineers, community members, and elected officials, gathered and in less than 2.5 hours, handled 160,000 vegetables and 120,000 fruits!! That’s 8 tons of fresh produce positively impacting 30,000+ residents of affordable housing communities in San Diego. With the final deliveries completed in record time, we’re already thinking about 2027! Stay tuned.

Allgire Surf Ranch Affordable Housing Conference 2025

By bringing together likeminded leaders in the affordable housing community to connect and engage in authentic and meaningful discussions about affordable housing, the Allgire Foundation continues its mission to transform lives by creating opportunities. The Kelly Slater Surf Ranch provides a unique setting to create space to build deeper connections between the developers, architects, engineers, construction managers, and builders that have devoted their lives to helping residents of affordable housing flourish. Thank you to Allgire General Contractors for their tireless and unwavering support of affordable housing and making the adventure of a lifetime possible!
