San Francisco Parent Coalition thanks all of our amazing supporters.
For its first year plus, SF Parent Coalition (then as Decreasing the Distance) was entirely run by parent and community volunteers.
We continue to be powered by incredible parents on the ground, driving our work and advocating for what kids need to learn and thrive. Since launching a formal non-profit 501c3 organization in August 2021, we also have received donations from over one hundred parents, caregivers, and supporters. Our parent volunteers and donors are the true fiber of our organization:
