Seeking Input on CCG Rules and Regulations

Revisions to CCG's

Rules and Regulations

As part of our ongoing commitment to improve CCG, our team is updating the City’s rules and regulations governing the program. The proposed revisions align the program with today’s grantmaking best practices and provide more flexibility for program staff to respond to pressing needs in the community.

Visit the CCG website to view the existing rules and regulations with the proposed updates. We would appreciate your feedback, now through November 12, during this 30-day notice period before we present the update to the Board of Supervisors.

Grantees in Action

Community Challenge Grants projects take place across San Francisco making our City more resilient. Here are a few examples.

Japantown Community Benefit District

If you’re planning a visit to Japantown, be sure to check out the newly installed, CCG-funded street lamp banners. These vibrant displays are part of Japantown CBD’s 'Yes, We Are Open' campaign, reminding everyone that the heart of Japantown remains open and thriving during the Peace Plaza renovations. Your visit helps support local businesses and the community during this exciting transformation.

The image shows a collection of vibrant street lamp banners laid out on the floor. The posters are colorful and feature artistic renditions of Maneki-neko (beckoning cat) figures in different styles and scenes. Some posters have text, including phrases like ''Yes, we're open!'' and references to Japantown, such as ''Welcome to Japantown'' in both English and Japanese. One of the posters shows a Maneki-neko holding a large gold coin with Japanese kanji, while others display cats alongside traditional Japanese symbols like pagodas, cherry blossoms, and Mt. Fuji. The overall theme is playful and celebratory, highlighting Japanese culture.

Burnside Mural+

The long-awaited tile installation at the staircase on 50 Burnside Avenue is happening this month. This stunning mosaic stairway will not only celebrate the rich history of Glen Park, but also pay tribute to the incredible women who fought to save the neighborhood from a proposed freeway. See it yourself as part of SF Stairway Month, free events that showcase love and commitment to these public spaces including a guided walk across five of the City’s tiled staircases.

The mosaic tiles on the risers of the stairs display a variety of intricate patterns, including abstract blue designs, green leaves, and flowers, and aquatic-themed elements like fish. The worker appears to be using tools and materials to affix the tiles, with a bucket of adhesive nearby. The staircase is surrounded by a natural outdoor setting with trees and sunlight filtering through. Safety rails frame the sides of the stairs. Photo by Colette Crutcher.

Portola Neighborhood Association

Last month, at PNA’s Autumn Moon Festival, Mayor London Breed and CCG proudly celebrated the grand opening of The Green Between, a remarkable CCG-funded project. This exciting initiative transformed an underutilized space into a vibrant community greenway, complete with open areas for gatherings and stunning art installations. The Green Between is a shining example of how we can reimagine and revitalize urban spaces to bring people together and celebrate creativity.

The image shows a collection of small, colorful birdhouses mounted on a red wooden wall in The Green Between. The birdhouses are painted in various bright colors, with different designs and shapes, and are arranged at different heights. Some birdhouses are perched on small branches, while others are attached directly to the wall. Two silhouettes of birds, possibly crows or ravens, are featured on the wall as decorations. The display creates a whimsical and artistic outdoor scene, with a few plants visible in the foreground, adding to the natural setting.
