Afro-Cultural Preservation Mini-Grant
Program
Our Afro-Cultural Preservation Program’s mini-grants support neighborhood events to promote Black/African American history and culture in San Francisco’s historically Black communities, including the Black LGBTQI+ community. One of the key program goals is to preserve the history and legacy of historically Black neighborhoods in San Francisco through a variety of events.
Vision: Uplift, preserve, and celebrate Black communities in San Francisco.
