What drew you to the foundation?

San Francisco Foundation brings together so many things I care deeply about: economic opportunity, equity, and strong, thriving communities. I am especially drawn to SFF’s deep roots in the Bay Area and its connection to the people it serves. I am excited for the opportunity to learn, contribute, and help advance the Foundation’s mission.
