| San Francisco
Beautiful SF Beautiful continues the legacy of its founder, Friedel Klussmann, by awarding grants to organizations that seek to maintain or enhance San Francisco's unique beauty and livability. Projects must also encourage civic participation and create healthy, safe, and sustainable communities. The quarterly grants, which usually range from $1000 to $5,000, are awarded to a wide range of projects. When evaluating applications, SFB pays particular attention to the level of community participation and to the sustainability of the project beyond the term of the grant. Grants are given on a one-time basis to community groups and organizations
working on projects in San Francisco. Grants are not awarded to individuals. |
