The Hellman Foundation, established in 2011, invests in community-led initiatives that address systemic social challenges such as health equity, violence reduction, food insecurity, and youth empowerment. The non-profit company is based in San Francisco, CA. Its programs include the End Hep C SF initiative targeting hepatitis C disparities, Ceasefire for reducing gun violence, and the Ready, Resilient, & Rising! (R3) Network to improve behavioral health outcomes for low-income families. The foundation also supports the Beloved Youth Collective, which provides housing and peer support to reduce incarceration rates among girls and young women on probation, and the Alameda County MPCAH Birth Worker Capacity Building Project to expand culturally competent doula services. Food justice initiatives like EatSF and Recipe4Health increase access to healthy foods in low-income communities. The foundation uses grantmaking, capacity building, and community collaboration to promote fairness and resilience, with plans to conclude operations by 2034.
