Problem Statement: In 1986, the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund co-founder, Walter A. Haas, Jr., and the Fund’s President, Ira Hirschfield, approached the San Francisco Chronicle with an idea: the Bay Area needed a charitable fund to help individuals and families in crisis.
Goal of the Program: The Chronicle Season of Sharing Fund provides temporary assistance to help people living in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma counties. Over the last 33 years, the Chronicle Season of Sharing Fund has distributed $138 million to help individuals and families in need.
ALL FUNDS CONTRIBUTED EACH YEAR ARE DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
Housing and Critical Family Needs assistance is provided in the form of grants that are paid directly to the supplier of services, such as a landlord or medical equipment provider. If you or someone you know needs temporary assistance and might qualify for a grant, please read on for a list of coordinating agencies and their phone numbers.
Donations are used to provide direct assistance to Bay Area residents with critical needs that cannot be met by other resources.
