We believe San Francisco's problems are solvable.

We believe the solutions start with small business. 

Five years ago, we came together to respond to a pandemic we knew could impact small businesses for years to come.

OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS

We’ve launched over 30 programs to meet the evolving needs of small business owners.

Join us in shaping the next five years!

We’ve tackled urgent challenges, like providing free meals to families in need and helping restaurants stay afloat during the pandemic.

over the past five years

We’ve disbursed over $52 million to 1,850 small businesses citywide.

We’ve also lowered systemic barriers, making it easier for small businesses to open, grow, and thrive in San Francisco.

Together, we’ve:

Disbursed $51 million to 1,750 small businesses - 75%+ owned by BIPOC, women, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs.

Opened 18 storefronts in Downtown SF with 25 more on the way!

Provided 3.4 million free meals helping local restaurants support our communities.

Answered 80,000+ phone calls, offering support in English, Spanish, Cantonese, and Mandarin to ensure small business owners have the tools they need to succeed.

Alongside a community of partners, we’ve designed and implemented programs to keep small businesses doing what they do best - serving our communities, increasing vibrancy, and helping neighborhoods thrive.
