"The Bay Area Preservation Finance Table" brings together Funders, Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs)/Credit Unions, Government Actors and Research Institutes to engage in regular meetings to facilitate brainstorming, strategy development, and program refinement. These sessions will provide a platform to share best practices, exchange innovative ideas, and collaboratively address challenges around preservation work in the Bay. Your participation in this cohort will be a unique opportunity to contribute your knowledge and experience while working alongside other passionate leaders who share a common goal of advancing housing equity.

Purpose of the Cohort:

The primary purpose of this cohort is to collaborate on the development of SFCLT's business model and program framework for the Capital Campaign. By uniting a diverse group of housing funders, experts, and stakeholders, we aim to harness the collective wisdom, insights, and financial resources to create a robust strategy that maximizes the impact of Mackenzie Scott's generous donation and propels our mission forward.

Eventually this cohort will meet with members of our " Bay Area CLT & Small Non-profit Developer Table" to exchange ideas and the results of our findings from these discussions taking place in parallel with your table.

Meeting Frequency:

We recognize the value of your time and commitment, and as such, we are planning to schedule cohort meetings on a quarterly basis. These meetings will strike a balance between maintaining momentum and respecting your professional commitments. Each session will be designed to be engaging, focused, and results-oriented.
