CONNECTING WITH COMMUNITY

Communities are defi ned by connections. The Bay Area’s rich heritage of cultural and civic diversity has created a vibrant collection of advocates, leaders, and philanthropists. As a community foundation, we play an integral role in strengthening these cultural ties, and work diligently to bind our common humanity through philanthropy.

DISCOVER HOW WE CONNECT WITH THE BAY AREA

STRATEGIC, RESPONSIVE GRANTS – We fund more than 780 nonprofi ts across the Bay Area each year. Our grantmaking is strategic and responsive to the changing needs of the region. We focus on six core areas: Arts and Culture Social Justice Community Health Education Environment Community Development

INITIATIVES – Our strong connection to the community drives these forward-thinking initiatives:

Impact Funds – Working together with our donors to address critical needs in the Bay Area

Foundation Initiatives – Delivering solutions to specifi c community needs through the expertise of our Program staff Koshland Civic Unity Program – Supporting neighborhood-focused work with grassroots leadership development

PUBLIC POLICY – We believe it is essential to engage in systems change and policy issues that affect our communities through: Impacting public/private partnerships and legislation Convening diverse leaders in meaningful conversations Improving participation in the democratic process Supporting broad-based funding initiatives OUR DONORS – Our work is supported by the ongoing commitment of our donors. We offer a range of opportunities to connect with the Bay Area:

Donor Advisors – Active Bay Area philanthropists establish funds to make an impact in communities and simplify their philanthropy Legacy Donors – Visionary individuals and families entrust us with their estates to ensure their legacy is carried out in perpetuity Public and Private Foundations – Local, regional, and national institutions partner with us to advance a common agenda

PEOPLE – Our leadership and expertise mobilizes resources in our community: Board of Trustees – Dedicated community leaders set our strategic direction Committees – Community experts give their time and experience to enhance our work Awardees – Innovative pioneers exemplify leadership Staff – Diverse, expert professionals committed to the Bay Area Multicultural Fellows – Future leaders in the philanthropic, nonprofi t, and public sectors

FINANCIAL RESOURCES – We offer our donors a range of opportunities to make a difference in the community and maximize the impact of their philanthropy. BUILDING CONNECTIONS + OUR ROLE AS A COMMUNITY FOUNDATION The Bay Area is a remarkable place to call home. As a community foundation, we are fortunate to work closely with the many inspirational people and effective nonprofi ts devoted to the region. Their voices deserve to be heard in our community. It is our job to connect these people, with their strong ideas and passions, to resources that will amplify their voices.

The Foundation is a bridge between nonprofi ts and resources, neighborhoods and government, leadership and those in need. This report illustrates the many ways we connect with our community. Our partnership with Mayor Gavin Newsom and other elected offi cials, the business community, labor, and health providers on the issue of health access is one example. We worked closely with these community leaders and public servants to build a common agenda with a tangible plan to care for the 82,000 San Franciscans without healthcare. It was an incredible opportunity to set a large table with a grand vision, backed by sound data and research.

Collaborations such as this demonstrate how the diverse communities of the Bay Area pioneer innovations that often seed here and spread across the nation. The Foundation’s hallmark is its ability to bring about concrete results by nurturing new ideas. With the guidance of our Board of Trustees, we use our programmatic expertise to partner with organizations dedicated to solving real, everyday problems.

We achieve these solutions by connecting our donors with nonprofi ts to ensure that the voices of our region continue to be heard. Our donors are a part of our philanthropic family and often use their knowledge and insight in collaboration with our Program staff. We pride ourselves on being an agile and nimble community foundation – in concert with our partners we articulate a vision, convene leadership, and make sure everyone benefi ts.

A central part of our mission is to be a catalyst for change – as you look back over the last year and forward to the next, there are many reasons to be hopeful. In the midst of transformations across the nation, we are reminded that the cultural diversity of the Bay Area has built a robust civic society. The future excites us, and we hold ourselves to a very high standard for enabling change that enhances community connections, builds consensus, and strengthens civic life across the region.

3 ARTS & CULTURE + DIVERSE ARTISTIC PRACTICES The Bay Area is fertile ground for both culturally and artistically diverse art. The Fund for Artists highlights the needs of individual local artists and supports opportunities for their growth. In partnership with our donors, we expand the creative infl uence of art across communities.

In partnership with community organizations, we support local artists working across the region.

AWARDS Individuals make a difference. Our awards programs celebrate local leaders, artists, neighborhood activists, and innovators while highlighting their connection to our region. Communities across the Bay Area are profoundly infl uenced by the impact of their work.

KOSHLAND CIVIC UNITY PROGRAM AWARDEES Each year, the Koshland Civic Unity Program begins a fi ve-year relationship with a neighborhood in the Bay Area. Local leaders, often unsung heroes outside their communities, are chosen for their commitment to creating positive, lasting change in their neighborhood. These individuals take the lead and, through professional development, translate their innovative, hands-on approach into solutions. The most recent awardees live and work in this year’s selected neighborhood, the Bayview in San Francisco.
