The grant will fund a variety of SF SPCA programs that address animal welfare as a social justice issue. San Francisco Foundation\u2019s investment comes as it celebrates its 75th anniversary of serving San Francisco Bay Area communities and the SF SPCA celebrates its 155th anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPets are an integral part of our families and provide so many benefits, but the costs of their care can immensely affect Bay Area residents, especially Black and Latinx families, whom our systems have disproportionately excluded from wealth and opportunity,\u201d said<strong> Dr. Jennifer Scarlett, San Francisco SPCA CEO<\/strong>. \u201cThe San Francisco Foundation is an incredible organization dedicated to advancing racial equity and economic inclusion. Their investment and partnership will enable the SF SPCA to continue providing critically needed community programs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor 75 years, the San Francisco Foundation, together with our donors and partners, has worked to create a Bay Area where everyone thrives,\u201d said<strong> Fred Blackwell, San Francisco Foundation CEO.<\/strong> \u201cWe are proud to support the SF SPCA\u2019s efforts to ensure that all families, including BIPOC families, can participate, prosper, and reach their full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The grant will support programs that keep families and their pets together, including the SF SPCA\u2019s mobile vaccine clinic, which treats over 4,500 animals annually; the city\u2019s first fixed-fee Community Veterinary Clinic in San Francisco\u2019s Excelsior District; and the Community Medicine Education Training Program, a workforce development program. The grant will also enable financial assistance to San Francisco residents with low incomes. The SF SPCA provides over $2.4M in free or reduced-price veterinary care each year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSF SPCA is a thoughtful community partner that has engaged with local community stakeholders, neighbors, and residents to uplift community voices. In trying to meet the diverse needs of the community, the SF SPCA is focused on providing resources to community members equitably,\u201d adds <strong>Andrea Baker of <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.en2action.org\/\"><strong>En2action<\/strong><\/a>, a community partner of the SF SPCA\u2019s first Community Veterinary Clinic in San Francisco\u2019s Excelsior neighborhood which opened in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Animal welfare is tied to physical, emotional, and psychological wellness and can be strained by systemic poverty and societal inequities. Through its programs, the SF SPCA keeps people and their pets together, enriching the lives of both, and ensuring animals stay in the best homes for them: the ones they\u2019re already in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"># # #<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the San Francisco Foundation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The San Francisco Foundation is committed to a Bay Area where everyone can get a good job, live in a safe and affordable home, and exercise their political voice. The foundation advances its work through grantmaking, partnerships with donors, policy advocacy, and impact investing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the San Francisco SPCA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The San Francisco SPCA is an independent, community-supported, nonprofit animal welfare organization dedicated to saving, protecting and providing immediate care for cats and dogs who are homeless, ill or in need of an advocate.
