A Bay Area nonprofit’s homebuilding mission has been significantly boosted thanks to a $6.75 million ‘transformational’ gift from philanthropist Mackenzie Scott – part of a blockbuster $436 million donation announced today that will expand access to affordable homeownership across the U.S. Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco, the recipient, has embarked on a drive to build homes and create a path to homeownership for more than 250 working families in San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin. It says the money will be used in all three counties to support the entirety of its work.
The donation takes the nonprofit past the halfway point in its $100m Building Families a Future comprehensive campaign – a crucial milestone, it says, and one which will propel its fundraising to further success.
