About Community Challenge Grants Program

Overview

The Community Challenge Grants Program (CCG) provides City funding for community-led, neighborhood improvements. We recognize our communities’ interdependence and collective strength and fund neighborhood beautification projects that foster resilience, safety, and belonging in San Francisco. Projects include:

  • Greening and environmental stewardship;
  • Cleaning and neighborhood care;
  • Public art and cultural expression;
  • Community activation and events;
  • Community gathering spaces and placemaking.

History

Voters approved the Neighborhood Beautification and Graffiti Clean-Up Fund in 1990. The Community Challenge Grants program launched with funds from voluntary payroll and business tax elections.

The Community Challenge Grants Program is a division of the City Administrator's Office.
