Very excited to share that Givefront is joining https://t.co/shHqhoVYv3. Owner is a generational company, and that was clear from our earliest conversations with Adam. Thrilled to scale our mission alongside an incredible team. https://t.co/tjvYI4B8AY

SF parks are sacred. The SF Parks Alliance was supposed to protect themβ€” instead, they – misused $3.8M in donor funds – spent $1.9M meant for Crane Cove Park (still unfinished) – gave exec bonuses during a $4.6M deficit – lost $250K on fundraising events Good intentions aren’t https://t.co/ju9aq4dEAL
