SF New Deal
ABOUT THE GRANT
The Inner Sunset Neighborhood Vibrancy Fund provides Inner Sunset small businesses in San Francisco with grants of up to $20,000 to support storefront beautification, technical assistance, and storefront activation across the neighborhood's commercial corridors. Administered by SF New Deal, a nonprofit that has strengthened San Francisco's small businesses and neighborhood vibrancy citywide since 2020, the fund is a pilot program financed by private donors and community members with a stake in the neighborhood, with expected support for up to 20 small businesses across three funding tracks.
-The Storefront Beautification track provides up to $10,000 to fund small but impactful storefront investments, such as replacing damaged awnings, repairing broken windows, or restoring outdoor planters.
-The Technical Assistance track provides up to $5,000 to help businesses cover the cost of professional services and other advisory support.
-The Storefront Activation track provides up to $20,000 to businesses that take over a vacant storefront in the Inner Sunset, offsetting the cost of opening in a previously empty space.
Applications are reviewed by a community advisory group of Inner Sunset neighbors, and there are no fixed caps on how much funding can go toward any single track (funding is directed toward the strongest applications regardless of category). The Inner Sunset was selected as the pilot neighborhood at the request of the initial donors, and future expansion of the model to other neighborhoods may be possible if additional community funding is secured.
