Meet Your Neighbors Fund

A teeny grant to make a big introduction :)

Do you live in San Francisco but don’t really know the people next door? You’re not alone, and we’re helping change that.

The Meet Your Neighbors Fund is giving San Franciscans $100 to host simple, low-lift gatherings that bring neighbors together. A potluck in your living room, coffee on your driveway, nothing too fancy, just a reason to say hello. This round is for folks who want to host a gathering to meet the neighbors in your building/on your block during 2026 SF Good Neighbor Week, Sep 26- Oct 4. The gathering can be in your home, outside, in a coffeeshop, in a public space… Anywhere you like :)

There are (probably) amazing people living in your building/on your block. This is your excuse to meet them! We’re partnering with Civic Joy Fund and With Neighbors to support small moments of connection that make neighborhoods feel warmer, friendlier, and a little more like home.

The application is now closed.

Building community doesn’t have to be complicated. It can be as simple as a stack of pancakes.

Application deadline: September 18, 2026
Gathering dates: 2026 SF Good Neighbor Week (Sep 26- Oct 4), through end of October
