Today our host is Manuel Santamaria, SVCF’s vice president of strategic initiatives and grantmaking. In the first half of the episode, Manuel describes the grantmaking process that has served SVCF well over the past 10 years. He outlines the four “buckets” we aim to serve: economic security, building strong communities, education, and immigration.

Manuel also talks about how the grantmaking process is going to change to celebrate our 10th anniversary. Manuel then welcomes Valerie Cuevas onto the show to talk about the special anniversary grants we will be awarding throughout the year.

Valerie is a senior program officer and the leader of our 10-year anniversary request for grant proposals. She talks about why we’re focusing on innovative ideas with our anniversary grants, and she puts out the call to anyone with a big idea to apply for a grant.

Arielle Fleisher is on the podcast today on behalf of SPUR, a member-supported nonprofit that supports great planning, development, and government in the San Francisco Bay Area. Arielle and Vu-Bang Nguyen (SVCF’s program officer for regional planning) discuss the need for a single map that includes information on all our transit systems.

Arielle outlines the positive effects the project will have, including increasing communication between operators, riders, and designers in the planning phase; improving public health by making transit more accessible; and benefitting our economy by making our transportation more tourist-friendly.
