The Partnership

The Partnership for HOPE SF was established in 2011 by civic and philanthropic leaders who came together to support the City of San Francisco in creating new practices to achieve the ambitious vision of racially and economically inclusive communities.

The Partnership plays a critical role in convening key partners and experts, providing technical assistance and capacity building, overseeing research and evaluation, and advocating for the long-term sustainability of the initiative. It also raises funds to seed innovative programs in education, health care, resident leadership, and economic advancement.

Leadership

Leading The Partnership are three organizations: The Office of the Mayor at the City and County of San Francisco, the San Francisco Foundation, and Enterprise Community Partners. In addition, many organizations and individuals — including foundations, business leaders, housing experts, and residents — support the partnership with expertise and funding.
