Campus-Community Collaboration

The McCarthy Center and Engage San Francisco is proud to announce the recipients of the 2020 Community Partnership Innovation Fund (CPIF). The ethos of Engage San Francisco is creating campus-community partnership and the CPIF exemplifies this mission.

The CPIF awards funding towards organizations in support of children and families in the Western Addition neighborhood. Additionally, funds support teams of faculty/staff and partners proposing well-defined projects that support the achievement of a community-identified need, while deepening their partnership through an intentional and collaborative process.

We’re proud of the work and achievements of our CPIF recipients. Here are their stories below!
