Green by Design:
Shaping a Sustainable Urban Environment.
As San Francisco’s community greening landscape evolves, Greening Projects is stepping in to ensure neighborhood groups continue to have strong citywide support, access to funding, and a shared home for their work.
Greening Projects operates as a 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor, offering administrative support, liability coverage, and fundraising assistance to volunteer-led teams transforming empty San Francisco lots into ecological corridors.
Help Us Grow a Greener, Healthier San Francisco
Across San Francisco, something remarkable is happening. Communities are transforming empty lots, concrete corridors, and bare sidewalks into vibrant green spaces, and the benefits are extraordinary. These aren’t just beautification projects. They’re solutions to some of our city’s most pressing challenges, including food insecurity, flooding, and mitigating air pollution.
Help us plant the seeds of resilience in neighborhoods that need it most, while also leaving a lasting legacy of new parks, gardens, and green schoolyards.
