JOIN THE BAY AREA CHAPTER

​

​When you become a Blue Heart member by setting up a recurring donation, your membership will fund local grassroots movement-building organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Blue Heart has been committed to assisting tenacious Bay Area-based grassroots organizations that are at the vanguard of establishing movements for justice, equity, and dignified living in low-income and marginalized communities across the Bay. Despite their significant contributions to Bay Area neighborhoods, traditional philanthropy generally overlooks these grassroots organizations. 

 

Given the proximity to Silicon Valley’s diverse and wealthy communities, we believe that their support for these organizations and communities can strengthen pipelines of resources and support in face of gentrification and other injustices that contribute to these imbalances. By supporting local organizations, we empower Silicon Valley to see the communities it touches.

​

The first official chapter of Blue Heart originated in the Bay Area in 2016. We then opened a Salish Sea, Washington chapter in 2020 and funded a variety of organizations there on a quarterly basis, but due to capacity, closed the chapter in early 2025. With increased funds and capacity, there is always opportunity to open new regional Blue Heart chapters. Get in touch if you are interested!
