About Community Challenge Grants Program

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.

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.

Individuals who would like to contribute to the CCG Fund can donate through Give2SF.

Businesses who would like to send a portion of their Gross Receipts Annual Business Tax to the Community Challenge Grants Fund can contribute using the Gross Receipts Annual Business Tax website.
