GPA Grants Program

Grant Funding Guidelines

Submit Applications here >>

Mission:
To make grants to support goals of the Glen Park Association (GPA), as stated in the GPA By-Laws Sec. 201, specifically:

  1. To promote the collective interests of the San Francisco neighborhood known as Glen Park, and to provide its residents with a more forceful collective voice;
  2. To inform the public of matters concerning the Glen Park neighborhood;
  3. To promote sociability and friendship among Glen Park and other neighborhoods throughout the city;
  4. To initiate and/or support local beneficial projects.

Solicitation:
In 2025, the GPA will offer up to $5,000 in grants to the community, with a maximum grant size of $1,500. The application deadline is February 28, 2025 and grantees will be announced by the end of April. Submit Applications here >x>

Grant Guidelines:
The grant proposals shall address how the requested funding will support the GPA mission as stated in the By-Laws.

Proposals will be accepted for the purposes described above, from organizations, institutions, and public agencies. With the exception of public agencies, all proponents must be recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as covered by the terms of section 501(c)3 of the code, or must have the fiscal sponsorship of such an organization.

The proposals shall include:

    1. the program budget,
    2. the reason funding is requested from GPA rather than from other sources,
    3. potential matching sources,
    4. timeframe of the request,
    5. organization’s contact person,
    6. qualifications of key people who will administer and implement the grant,
    7. description of the proponent’s track record as a grantee, and
    8. financial statements for the past two years.

Limitations on the use of funds:
Grant funds may not be spent on Fundraising.

Selection:
A board sub-committee will review proposals, clarify proposals with submitter as needed, and make recommendations to the full board for action.

The Board of Directors will consider and may approve the grant recommendation at a regular board meeting.

Funding and Follow-Up:
Upon board approval, the Treasurer will issue a check to the grantee. This will be transmitted to the grantee with an appropriate cover letter.

The grantees shall provide a follow-up letter to the President, noting completion of the program or acquisition covered by the grant. This letter will include proof of payment for items covered by the grant and, if applicable, payroll records and payroll tax returns.

At least annually, GPA shall issue a brief report and list of grants, through Glen Park online groups and Glen Park Association website.

Conflict of Interest Policy
The GPA wishes to deal appropriately and openly with all potential conflicts of interest, including board members’ relationships with organizations that are applying for a GPA grant. This is extended to board members’ families’ interests in the applicant organizations.

Should such a conflict appear to exist, the GPA member is required to make disclosure of the relationship and the remainder of the board shall determine if a conflict exists. If it does, the applicant board member shall abstain from discussion of the application other than to answer questions from the remainder of the board members on that matter. If the grant is awarded, it shall be noted whether or not the abstention of any board member has occurred due to a conflict or the appearance of a conflict of interest, and this shall be recorded in the record of the vote and in the annual record of grant making.

Saturday’s Glen Park Greenway Work Party is Cancelled.

“I’m very sorry to say that
we have cancelled our Work Party for this Saturday July 12, along with all organized volunteer activity on the Greenway until further notice.
As you may have read in the news, our fiscal sponsor, San Francisco Parks Alliance (SFPA), has shut itself down. Just as SFPA has shut itself down, the Greenway, as an organized part of SFPA, has also been “shut down.” We are busy looking for a suitable alternative fiscal sponsor that is willing to replace SFPA. That search is going well but it is a slow process. We had hoped to find temporary ways to enable the Greenway project to function responsibly as a community activity without a fiscal sponsor. Sadly, despite our best efforts and the help of many others in Glen Park, we have failed. That is why we must cancel our Saturday Work Party and discontinue future work parties and other organized volunteer activity on the Greenway (like weeding and watering) until further notice. We recognize that the Greenway is public open space and that the organizers of the Greenway project have no control over the activities of you or of anyone else on the Greenway. However, if you do venture onto the Greenway to satisfy your urge for outdoor recreation, please be aware that your activity is not in any way organized or sanctioned by the organizers of the Glen Park Greenway project. I’m well aware of the efforts that many of the
Greenway’s supporters are making to get the Greenway organized with a new fiscal sponsor and I’m confident that this will be arranged within weeks or perhaps a few months.
However long it takes, I will contact you with news of our progress.
Many thanks for all that you do for the Greenway.”

Nicholas Dewar, volunteer Project Director

Wonder what’s stopping just organizing it separate from that non-profit. It seems like the volunteers largely come from Glen Park.
