San Francisco Foundation

This Labor Day, we lift up the healthcare workers who hold up our communities in ways both visible and unseen. Many of them are caregivers—so often women, immigrants, and people of color—whose labor sustains families, heals communities, and ensures that our elders and loved ones with disabilities are cared for with dignity. Here in the Bay Area, the Community-Based Caregiving Initiative (CCI)—a partnership led by SFF’s ReWork the Bay along with a coalition of care providers and advocates—takes as foundational that caregiving is essential, skilled public health work.

San Francisco Foundation donors, Sergio Garcia and Amelia Gonzalez, share why they remain deeply committed to community and social justice, and how the SFF donor community provides opportunities to engage with others to share insights and strengthen impact. "It feels more important than ever to be actively contributing and building relationships with everyone protecting the future of the Bay Area."
