Recession Recovery

As a result of the economic downturn and its collateral effects, The San Francisco Foundation provides Recession Recovery focused funding by invitation only that targets our partners in safety net, job training and creation, and foreclosure response and neighborhood preservation. Our strategy emphasizes collaborations with funders, nonprofit organizations, government, and the business sector to leverage the most impact for the regions we serve.

Our next application cycle will open in Fall 2012. To review the grant process timeline for your Recession Recovery Funding application, please visit the Safety Net, Job Training and Creation, or Foreclosure Response and Neighborhood Preservation pages below.
