Mission

The San Francisco Foundation mobilizes resources and acts as a catalyst for change to build strong communities, foster civic leadership, and promote philanthropy. Since being founded in 1948, The San Francisco Foundation has become one of the nation's largest community foundations with more than $1 billion in assets. The Foundation addresses community needs by supporting innovative ideas and strengthening existing nonprofit organizations that lack sufficient resources or infrastructure. As a regional community foundation serving San Francisco, Marin, Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Mateo Counties, we focus on the areas of arts and culture, community development, community health, education, the environment, and social justice.
