"Building a Better Community"


















HOME

The Providence Foundation of San Francisco is the non-profit, charitable arm of Providence Baptist Church (PBC), a 2,000-member congregation that has been a cornerstone of the predominantly Black Bayview-Hunters Point Community for more than 60 years.

The Foundation was established by members of the PBC congregation in 1996 to address the multiple concerns of the Community's low-income residents.  The Foundation seeks to improve the Bayview-Hunters Point Community by implementing a comprehensive and systematic approach to the needs of residents regarding education, training, housing, nutrition and the welfare of our children.

The ultimate goal is to foster the type of individual and Community self-reliance that results in dignity, respect and support for safer neighborhoods.


Mission Statement

The Providence Foundation of San Francisco (Foundation) is a 501(c)(3) organization established to: 

  • Improve the quality of life of low-income residents in the Bayview-Hunters Point Community. 
  • Promote the self-reliance of Bayview-Hunters Point residents. 
  • Promote the strength of Bayview-Hunters Point families and improve the livability of our neighborhoods. 
  • Prepare our youth to assume the responsibilities and relationships of adult life. 
To accomplish this mission, the Foundation has implemented programs that offer a variety of supportive services for children, families, seniors, and the homeless in the Bayview-Hunters Point Community.

The services provided by the Foundation demonstrate a concern for community issues as well as the ability to meet community needs. These programs represent the new driving force in the philanthropic community.
