One Acre Fund supplies smallholder farmers with the financing and training they need to grow more food and earn more money from their farms. Instead of giving handouts, we invest in farmers to generate a permanent gain in income. We supply a complete service bundle of seeds and fertilizer, financing, training, and market facilitation—and we deliver these services within walking distance of the rural farmers we serve. We measure success in our ability to make farmers more prosperous and we always put Farmers First.

The mission of the Chronicle Season of Sharing Fund is to create stability for individuals and families facing an unexpected crisis by providing temporary assistance for housing, critical needs and access to food. Since 1986, the Fund has raised more than $192 million to help well over 180,000 Bay Area residents. The Fund offers one-time grants to help individuals and families in crisis so they can pay for housing and emergency needs. In addition, the Fund supports food banks and provides more than $2 million each year to those who might otherwise go hungry. All of the Fund's administrative expenses are covered by the San Francisco Chronicle and the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund. As a result, 100 percent of the money raised goes directly to help the individuals and families served.

The Foundation's goal is to provide the ultimate environment for a child to become their best in all areas of their life, including academic, athletic, interpersonal skills, leadership, as a mentor, and someone willing to be mentored. They hope to arm children with a variety of ways to grow intellectually, spiritually, physically, and in their relationships with themselves and others. Their program is designed to go deeper into the subjects of life, excellence, and how to pursue happiness. In the end, our long-term goal is to help them become professionals in life, to find peace of mind, so they can share this wisdom with their families, friends, and communities as leaders and examples of extraordinary living and happiness.
