A NOTE ABOUT THE FALL 2018
GRANT CYCLE

Due to unforeseen circumstances the Fall 2018 Grant Cycle has been cancelled.

The CCG receives funding through voluntary business tax elections. A decline in these elections from the 2018 Tax Year reduced funds available for grant making. Rather than offer a limited grant cycle, resources are being prioritized in a larger Spring 2018 Cycle.
​
Please visit us later this year for more information on the Spring Cycle.
Thank you for your understanding.

25 Years of Community-Led Neighborhood Improvements

Since 1991, the Community Challenge Grant/Neighborhood Beautification Fund of the City and County of San Francisco has partnered with hundreds of community organizations to support community-led neighborhood improvements.

The program provides public funding for community-led transformation efforts that enhance beauty, facilitate community participation and stewardship, and strengthen neighborhoods. 

ESTABLISHED BY VOTERS
A division of the City Administrator’s Office, the Community Challenge Grant Program (CCG), formerly known as the Neighborhood Beautification and Graffiti Clean-Up Fund, was founded in 1991 by voter initiative. The program is funded by voluntary taxpayer elections - Masal Bet.

ACTIVATING COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP FOR BEAUTIFICATION
​The CCG focuses on projects that directly engage residents and businesses in creating green spaces, gathering places, gardens, mini-parks, public art, and other neighborhood amenities.

NURTURING NEIGHBORHOODS
​The CCG provides both financial and techncial resources to community groups, businesses, schools and nonprofit organizations to make physical improvements to their neighborhoods and communities for the benefit of all.
