About Avenue Greenlight

Avenue Greenlight is a San Francisco-based 501(c)(3) grantmaking initiative formed in 2021 to support neighborhood commercial corridors through targeted, place-based grants. The organization provides one-time and project grants to local merchant associations, community groups, and fiscal sponsors for activities such as lighting and streetscape improvements, public art, cleanliness and power-washing, events and activations, and public-safety supports. Since its founding Avenue Greenlight has operated as a donor-facing philanthropic vehicle with an open grant program and an accessible online presence; it has executed multiple grant rounds and partnered with local merchant associations and city agencies to fund corridor-specific improvements. The organization is listed in tax-exempt nonprofit records under EIN 86-2945144 and continues active grantmaking and local partnerships in recent years.
