San Francisco Foundation
http://www.sff.org/
(Statements below taken from the website):
The San Francisco Foundation has a variety of special projects, mini-grant programs, and initiatives that may issue Requests for Proposals (RFPs) or invite proposals at different times of the year. These grantmaking efforts are narrowly tailored to promote change around a particular issue or geographic area. RFPs are released and publicized periodically through our website and through targeted communications.
The Foundation generally does not fund:
• Projects outside the five Bay Area counties we serve (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo)
• Medical, academic, or scientific research
• Religious activities (although religious institutions may apply for nonsectarian activities)
• Direct assistance to individuals
• Conferences or one-time events
In some circumstances, the Foundation may support costs for:
• Planning and implementing capital campaigns
• Front-end funding necessary to undertake affordable housing and community development projects
• Modest-scale capital projects when presented in the context of a plan for meeting community needs
• Medical research that meets the terms of a restricted trust
• Projects initiated by individuals when supported by a capable fiscal sponsor
