About San Francisco Foundation
The San Francisco Foundation pairs large-scale community grantmaking with program-related investments, using both grants and low-interest capital to pursue its Equity Agenda across the Bay Area. One of its clearest signals is the $9.1 million grant to the UC Berkeley Foundation for the Haas Scholars Program, including the "Light the Way" capital campaign and scholarship support, which shows how the foundation backs higher education and student opportunity at major scale. It also funds place-based housing and community development work, such as the $9 million grant to the San Francisco Housing Accelerator Fund for general support and R&D, alongside awards that support leadership development, civic power, arts access, workforce opportunity, and racial equity. The foundation’s recent portfolio mixes large general-support awards, restricted program grants, and advised gifts routed through donor-advised structures. In the Bay Area, it has supported community organizations, universities, arts institutions, and public-interest intermediaries, with funding that can reach into the millions when it is tied to scholarship programs, housing finance, or long-term community infrastructure. Its giving reflects a regional strategy centered on racial equity and economic inclusion rather than a narrow single-issue focus, with multiple pathways aimed at people, place, and power.
