We’re a nonprofit dedicated to improving the Yerba Buena neighborhood in downtown San Francisco — the City’s cultural district. Our Clean Team, Community Guides and Bike Patrol Officers help to keep our public spaces clean, welcoming and safe. We promote district businesses and attractions, hold events, and enhance public spaces. We work with our volunteer Board of Directors and committees and as partners with residents, world-class museums, Moscone Convention Center, hotels, and educational institutions to enhance our neighborhood.
Each year the YBCBD gives out awards at our Annual Board Meeting in January where we celebrate those who have offered the community special services, projects, or activations that help Yerba Buena. This year, we are proud to present three awards. You can hear them speak to their work and accomplishments by clicking below and watching their videos.
The Yerba Buena Community Benefit District (YBCBD) is pleased to issue the Community Benefit Fund Guidelines and Application.
Three types of grants are offered to nonprofits and resident organizations that seek to improve the quality of life in the Yerba Buena Neighborhood through the YBCBD Community Benefit Fund – full grants of up to $25,000, and event sponsorships or mini-grants of up to $5,000. If you’re interested in applying, please carefully review the Fund Guidelines, Full Grant Proposal Application, and Mini-Grants/Event Sponsorship Application for further details.
