| Living in and around a unique and wonderful city like San Francisco has many advantages as well as its share of problems and stresses. That is why the Foundation supports programs that work to solve Bay Area issues such as traffic, graffiti, overcrowding, affordable housing needs and retention of open space. To achieve our vision, "helping people help themselves," we are particularly interested in community-based organizations that include people from the community, or are created by involved citizens. |
 |
|
We invest in people who want to keep the Bay Area a great place to live. Being a citizen of the Bay Area requires a certain level of responsibility. If we are to make informed and sound decisions about |
 |
|
issues that affect our communities, we must be aware and engaged.
The Foundation is especially interested in programs that encourage civic participation, promote understanding of civic issues as well as the political process, and support the development of sound public policy to help create positive change. We seek organizations that strive to promote civility, and encourage the public to be involved and contributing members of the community and society. |
