SF CARD connects nonprofit, faith-based, and private organizations with the network and knowledge they need to continue providing critical services after a disaster; focusing on preparedness, response, and recovery for vulnerable populations in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
San Francisco Community Agencies Responding to Disaster centers its work on keeping local organizations able to serve after disasters, especially through preparedness, response, and recovery support for vulnerable populations in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. In 2024, the foundation’s largest listed grant was $69,703 to Community Youth Centers of SF for MyShake program subcontractor services, followed by $65,000 to Livable City for the same program. Those awards show a pattern of funded service delivery rather than one-time philanthropy. The organization also supports preparedness infrastructure for community institutions: a $37,100 grant to the Center for Volunteer & Nonprofit Leadership supported BA UASI training services, while other recent grants went to organizations that help nonprofits, schools, and faith-based groups plan for continuity, drills, and recovery. Its active programming includes disaster education, climate resiliency and heat relief, school preparedness, and faith-based disaster planning, which points to a funder focused on practical readiness across community settings. The recent grants also show that the work is delivered through contracted partners, with recipients serving as subcontractors in specific preparedness programs.
A major theme is emergency training delivered through named partner programs. The foundation gave $37,100 to the Center for Volunteer & Nonprofit Leadership for BA UASI program subcontractor training services, and $15,400 to Collaborating Agencies Disaster Relief Effort for the same kind of work. Another theme is disaster education for community groups: Good Samaritan Family Resource Center received $37,500 as a Listos program subcontractor delivering services, while Mission Graduates received $20,000 for the same program. The foundation also invests in heat response and climate resiliency through its active Climate Resiliency Program / Heat Relief Center, which trains and equips local nonprofit and faith-based organizations to operate heat relief centers. School continuity is another clear area, reflected in its School Preparedness Program, which provides consultation, drill guidance, and technical assistance to school leadership.
