Give San Francisco Somewhere to Breathe 🌿

A vacant lot becomes a garden. A flooded street becomes a rain garden. A forgotten corner becomes a park.

Greening Projects turns unused urban spaces into green spaces — built with and for the neighborhoods that need them most. Every dollar you give plants roots that last for generations.

Why It Matters

🌊 Fewer floods. Rain gardens and bioswales soak up stormwater before it overwhelms our streets.
🌸 Healthier neighborhoods. Green space reduces stress and provides families with a place to breathe, play, and connect.
🐝 More life. Green corridors reconnect fragmented habitats, so native plants and pollinators can thrive.
🌎 A city built for what's coming. Every project adds resilience against a hotter, wetter future.
