Fiscal Agency

SF Clean City provides fiscal agency for community groups and neighborhood associations interested in applying for grant funding for beautification, cleaning, greening, and environmental stewardship projects. As a fiscal sponsor, SF Clean City allows groups to seek funding that aligns with our mission under our 501c3 non-profit tax-exempt status.

With our extensive experience of implementing projects throughout San Francisco, we are also able to provide technical support to increase the likelihood of a successful proposal and project. SF Clean City has also developed a partnership with the Community Challenge Grant Program to support proposals.

As part of our fiscal agency program, SF Clean City can assist with one or more of the following activities:

Grant and proposal writing and review
Budget development
Coordination with funders
Connecting with public agencies and entities in the City of San Francisco
Coordinating with neighborhood groups or similar projects
