Crankstart Foundation is a San Francisco-based family foundation dedicated to bolstering the foundations of a just society. Their mission encompasses wider access to better education, jobs with prospects for advancement, housing security, social welfare, and the protection of civil rights. Additionally, Crankstart supports the arts, basic science, and efforts to mitigate climate change. Approximately 60% of their grants are directed to groups in the San Francisco Bay Area, with occasional commitments elsewhere, particularly in Chicago and the United Kingdom. The foundation's grants typically range from $100,000 to $1 million, with a preference for multi-year commitments for general support once confidence in an organization is established. Crankstart envisions a vibrant, thriving Bay Area, where the region's prosperity is strengthened and shared more equitably by all who live there.
