Project Bayview supports the restoration of men and women into society from pasts of incarceration, homelessness, domestic violence and substance abuse. Through holistic training and one-on-one live-in mentoring, Project Bayview provides a beacon of hope in a under-supported part of San Francisco. Coupled with a revenue-building restaurant, which also serves as a job-training facility, they are eager to be a place where people pivot into a constructive and connected life. Philanthropy By Design will refresh buildings with new paint, furniture for lounge areas and bedrooms, and flooring.

Whistlestop promotes the independence, well-being and quality of life for older adults and people living with disabilities in Marin County. The project will be the remodeling of the Transportation Call Center.

Community Works mission is to reduce the impact of incarceration on individuals, families, and communities. A lot of work has been done in the exploration of the effect of incarceration on families and children of incarcerated parents. Eight primary programs help clients and their families access the inner power to work and live to their full potential through classes, after-school programs, therapy sessions and case management. These insights keep people out of prison, advocate for a more humane justice system, and support healthy communities for all of us. CW pioneered the first programs for children of the incarcerated and the first restorative justice programs in the country, and also launched family strengthening programs for incarcerated people in the San Francisco County Jail and two state prisons as well as provided reentry programs for young adults exiting the SF county jail.

HealthRIGHT360’s Integrated Care Center provides an innovative healthcare model to serve all San Franciscans, but primarily designed to treat low-income patients and the harder-to-reach homeless individual. With five floors and 50,000 square feet of space, clients are able to receive comprehensive treatment services under one roof: primary medical care, dentistry, mental health services, substance use disorder treatment, housing referral, employment opportunities, adult education, as well as a dining room and pharmacy. The project includes hanging tie-dye fabrics on four floors encompassing the four reception areas, three conference rooms and administrative areas.
