Hellman Collaborative Change Initiative: Awardees

Meet the Awardees:

The first Hellman Collaborative Change Initiative grants were awarded in 2014 to EatSF and CavityFree SF. 

In 2015, the Hellman Initiative expanded to Alameda County and awarded four grants to collaborations poised to make real change in the areas of education and poverty: African American Postsecondary Pathway Project, Oakland Starting Smart and Strong, Little 5 / Big 5, and Home Stretch. These awardees were chosen out of 141 collaboratives tackling some of the toughest challenges facing San Francisco and Alameda today. 

In 2017, we announced our next round of Collaborative Change Initiative grantees, including End Hep C SF, Food as Medicine Collaborative, Healthy Food, Healthy Families - a project of ALL IN - Alameda County, and San Francisco Educator Pathway Coalition. Whether by tackling an infectious disease that is one of the most prevalent among marginalized Californians, delivering free, fresh produce and connecting health services to those suffering from chronic illness or to help prevent childhood obesity, or working to improve the pipeline of minority teachers in the San Francisco Unified School District, all of this year’s grant recipients are already showing success at delivering more equitable solutions to Bay Area residents most in need. 

In 2019, awardees included Alameda Families United CARE, Expecting Justice, and Oakland Ceasefire. 

In 2022, awardees were selected through a community-centric decision-making process. A Community Panel with diverse experiences and deep community insight reviewed proposals and met with collaborative leaders to determine grant recommendations. The awardees include Oakland Postsecondary Education & Workforce Collaborative, The Pop-Up Village, and Ready, Resilient, and Rising! Network (R3), collaborations that are boldly and creatively addressing structural inequities in our local healthcare and education systems.
​
In choosing from an impressive array of active collaborations, the Foundation focused on collaborations that were facing a discrete barrier or timely opportunity where Hellman Foundation funding could tip their ability to achieve broad community impact.

EatSF never could have happened without money from the Hellman Initiative. Their support was absolutely crucial to getting all the right players to the table—including exciting new sources of funding that have allowed us to rapidly build our vision. – Hilary Seligman, EatSF
The Hellman Initiative grant came along during a critical time for our Children’s Oral Health Collaborative. It took the early seed money support from Hellman to help move us from great ideas to real policy change and implementation. – Lisa Chung, CavityFree SF ​
