The Friedman Family Foundation, based in San Francisco, CA, was established over three decades ago with the aim of reducing poverty through systemic change. As a small but growing family foundation, they have focused on supporting model organizations and innovative projects that have a lasting impact on economic inclusion, particularly for low-income communities and communities of color. With a commitment to empowering and investing in marginalized individuals, the foundation has provided long-term general support grants, advocated for policy change, and emphasized the importance of social, environmental, and economic impact.
With the recent passing of its founders, the Friedman Family Foundation has made the decision to close in 2022. However, their legacy lives on through the organizations and efforts they have supported, which have contributed to creating a more equitable society for all. The foundation's work has been guided by their values of respecting the capabilities and dignity of all people, believing in the power of ideas and individual empowerment, and their obligation to the San Francisco Bay Area. Through their grantmaking, they have sought to expand opportunities for economic participation and have recognized the talent and potential within marginalized communities. The foundation's trustees express immense appreciation for the work done by their grantees and remain committed to the ongoing work of reducing poverty.
