Applications Welcome for Open Invitation Summer Grants Program

The San Francisco Foundation is pleased to welcome applications for the Open Invitation Bay Area Grants Summer 2009 Program through Grantee Center, our online interactive community resource for applicants and grantees. The San Francisco Foundation welcomes unsolicited applications in five program areas twice a year. Applications are available now through Friday, July 17, 2009 (funding decisions by November 2009). Please note, this year The San Francisco Foundation streamlined our unsolicited grantmaking process and we now request full applications instead of the previous two-step intent to apply process. Applications are evaluated for alignment with the Foundation's strategic goals and objectives, and projects must benefit residents in at least one and up to the five Bay Area counties we serve. Before applying, please visit the Program pages to get more information about The San Francisco Foundation's areas of interest.
