Coordinator, GreenLight Bay Area

Organization Overview  GreenLight Fund is a national nonprofit with a local focus that partners with communities to create opportunities for inclusive prosperity.  We facilitate a community-driven process that matches the local needs of individuals and families not met by existing programs, to organizations with track records of success elsewhere.

Working with communities, we identify, invite in and launch proven organizations, providing collaborative support so they can quickly take root and deliver change. Everything we do is designed to remove barriers to inclusive prosperity all too often rooted in racial inequities.

Our impact increases exponentially as we address one specific, community-identified need each year, in each GreenLight site.  To date, we have brought 55 evidence-based portfolio organizations across 14 sites, invested $41M, and attracted an additional $320M from other funding sources, reaching over 1.3M individuals and families this past year alone.
