Afro-Cultural Preservation Mini-Grant 
Program 

​

Our Afro-Cultural Preservation Program’s mini-grants support neighborhood events to promote Black/African American history and culture in San Francisco’s historically Black communities, including the Black LGBTQI+ community. One of the key program goals is to preserve the history and legacy of historically Black neighborhoods in San Francisco through a variety of events.

 

Vision: Uplift, preserve, and celebrate Black communities in San Francisco.

All Hands In

​

HCN's Promise to the Community:

 

As part of the city-wide commitment to foster the preservation of Black LGBTQIA+ legacy, we pledge to serve the Black LGBTQIA+ community with the utmost respect and integrity.
