Small business preservation is an important step in maintaining a city's cultural identity, which helps provide local residents with employment, a sense of place, and community involvement. Our goal is to provide assistance to businesses that have been long-standing pillars of our community through marketing, business assistance, and specialized grants for our local small businesses that are a part of the Legacy Business Program.

Shanti is a pioneering nonprofit that builds personal connections to reduce isolation and improve quality of life for marginalized San Franciscans. Founded in 1974 at the UCSF cancer ward, Shanti became one the first community-based organizations to help support people diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. Today, Shanti’s key programs include its HIV Programs, LGBTQ+ Aging and Abilities Support Network (LAASN), Margot Murphy Women’s Cancer Program, Peer Advocate Care Team (PACT), and Pets Are Wonderful Support (PAWS).
