Programs: The friends helps provide the margin of excellence, beyond what is capable with diminishing public funding, to assist the commission and its staff to seek out and engage innovative opportunities to advance human rights, research and understand best practices, as well as to refine and promote new best practices developed here in san francisco. The friends are proud of their long history of providing small but carefully-targeted grants to broadcast crucial public hearings and to support legal and policy interns, professional development, timely forums and community leader awards to highlight a few areas of focus. The friends raise funding through annual events and the generosity of many individuals, at all levels of support, along with community organizations and businesses. As a 501(c)(3) organization, the friends of sf/hrc acts as the primary fiscal agent for other visionary foundations that are interested in advancing the work of the human rights commission.
