Invest: The Campaign for HOPE SF

 

Critical to the success of HOPE SF is the Campaign for HOPE SF, a unique public-private partnership - with an ambitious capital-raising goal of $25 million by 2016. The Campaign for HOPE SF will leverage support and invest dollars in a range of areas to ensure the best outcomes for HOPE SF residents and neighborhoods.

 

The Campaign for HOPE SF is a collaborative of foundations, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and community members, which brings in private resources – both funding and other support – to strengthen the revitalization of HOPE SF communities. For a list of major funders, please see Philanthropic Opportunities.

 

The Campaign was created by Enterprise Community Partners in partnership with The San Francisco Foundation and the City of San Francisco in 2011. It is now led by a Steering Committee and a Leadership Committee.

Campaign for HOPE SF Task Forces

 

In 2011 the Campaign for HOPE SF formed three task forces to determine the initial Strategic Priorities for Campaign investments. Each Task Force produced a report and a set of strategic priorities, and all were guided by a desire to maximize the impact on resident outcomes.

 

Economic Mobility

 

  • Connect HOPE SF residents to work through linkages to subsidized, supported transitional, or social enterprise employment opportunities in addition to competitive jobs.
  • Support successful employment so that residents succeed in competitive employment and build assets, through barrier removal, case management and wraparound services, and training during subsidized employment.
  • Support smart money management by ensuring residents have timely access to the information, financial products and services, and supports necessary to increase their financial capabilities and build assets.
  • Incentivizing work and saving so that residents who work and save will be better off financially, by promoting policies and improving communications with residents.

 

Education

 

  • Support programs and systems to ensure students enter kindergarten ready for school.
  • Support efforts to increase the quality of schools in or near HOPE SF sites.
  • Increase access to quality summertime, and before and after-school time experiences for youth.

 

Health

 

  • Organize and empower residents to lead and actively participate in community activities that build a strong and cohesive neighborhood.
  • Prevent exposure to stress and emotional trauma through a reduction in violence and unintended injuries, and provide social support to address trauma.
  • Create community-wide support for an environment that encourages early intervention and treatment of addiction and mental health conditions, and reduces their impact on individual, family, and community health.
  • Promote healthy living behaviors and conditions (including access to healthy food and physical activity) to improve rates of chronic disease, access to health care and prevention services, and healthy child development and family relationships.
  • Ensure safety and health standards are maintained in the demolition and reconstruction of HOPE SF sites so that the physical environment before and during construction is healthy.
