The neighborhood’s tapestry is one of renown museums and galleries, landscaped gardens, and major convention facilities. There are unique places to dine, shop, and play. Amid all of this is an exhibition of public art, culinary and architectural excellence, and CITY AT NIGHT: YERBA BUENA UNDER A FULL MOON entertainment offerings unique to the city. To sustain and improve Yerba Buena’s unique characteristics, the YBCBD provides services to help make the neighborhood cleaner, safer, and even more inviting. Thank you to all who help us make Yerba Buena an exceptional place for people of all ages and backgrounds. It’s been an exciting and productive year. We’re thrilled that public art and artistry in the neighborhood grew to new heights — adding to unexpected moments of inspiration and wonder. As part of the Moscone Center expansion, there are now several new works of public art in and around the Moscone Center and Yerba Buena Gardens. The new collection augments major works that the YBCBD helped bring to the neighborhood. Yerba Buena’s ingenuity also extends to its renowned restaurants, architecture, and landscaped spaces. It is reflected in the hundreds of different performances each year of the Yerba Buena Gardens Festival, at the YBCBD’s annual Yerba Buena Night of music, dance and performance, and at our monthly theatrical neighborhood walks.

Regional resources include public open spaces managed by the East Bay Regional Park District in Alameda and Contra Costa counties; the National Park Service in Marin, San Francisco and San Mateo counties as well as state park and recreation areas throughout. In addition, thousands of acres of watershed and agricultural lands are preserved as open spaces by water and utility districts or in private ownership. The Bay Trail is a planned recreational corridor that, when complete, will encircle San Francisco and San Pablo Bays with a continuous 400-mile network of bicycling and hiking trails. It will connect the shoreline of all nine Bay Area counties, link 47 cities, and cross the major toll bridges in the region.

    Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Interfaith Service Yerba Buena Gardens Esplanade Monday, January 21, 2013 Remarks by Michael G. Pappas, Executive Director Good afternoon, I’m Michael Pappas, Executive Director of the San Francisco Interfaith Council and a member of the SF Human Rights Commission. I join our Chair Rita Semel in welcoming you to this auspicious dual celebration, the Birthday of Civil Rights Leader the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the 2nd inauguration of the first African-American President Barack Obama. It is appropriate that we should come together for prayer and thanksgiving, in an interfaith celebration as, not only was Dr. King a pastor of immeasurable faith, but every social justice and civil rights movement marked in our nation’s history has been led by leaders of faith. In particular, here in San Francisco, in the early days of the Civil Rights Movement, before there was the San Francisco Interfaith Council, faith leaders from every tradition came together, through the Conference on Religion, Race and Social Concerns to proclaim, with a unified and prophetic voice, the Almighty’s call for freedom and equality for all people. At that same time our City responded to unconscionable and pressing racial injustices being perpetrated, by forming the San Francisco Human Rights Commission, the official independent 1 body of our City charged with stewardship of discrimination cases in San Francisco. It was as Director of that Commission that Mayor Edwin Lee began his career in public service. On this day Mayor Lee is proudly representing our City in Washington, DC at the inauguration of President Obama.

    RF Annual Report

    1998 ANNUAL REPORT ABOUT THE FOUNDATION – THE FOUNDATION The Rockefeller Foundation is a philanthropic organization endowed by John D. Rockefeller and chartered in 1913 for the well-being of people throughout the world. It is one of America's oldest private foundations and one of the few with strong international interests. From its beginning, the Foundation has sought to identify, and address at their source, the causes of human suffering and need. In 1998 Foundation programs were organized around eight core strategies listed on the following page. Together, these strategies constituted the Foundation's commitment to help define and pursue a path toward environmentally sustainable development consistent with individual rights and a more equitable sharing of the world's resources. The Foundation's work in 1998 was divided among the following program areas: the arts and humanities, equal opportunity, agricultural sciences, health sciences, population sciences, global environment, and special African initiatives including female education. The balance of the Foundation's 1998 grant and fellowship programs supported work in building democracy, international security, international philanthropy, and other special interests and initiatives. While concentrating its efforts in these areas over the past year, the Foundation is in the process of adjusting its course and defining a new organizational program structure for 1999 and beyond. The Foundation maintains the Bellagio Study and Conference Center in northern Italy for conferences of international scope and for residencies for artists, scholars and policymakers, and other professionals from around the world. The Foundation is administered by its president through a staff working in six locations: New York City, Cairo, Nairobi, Mexico City, Bangkok and Lilongwe, Malawi.
