The SF Parks Alliance dissolved prior to a scheduled hearing over allegations of mismanaging nearly $4 million from smaller organizations. This led to strong criticism from the SF Board of Supervisors, particularly from Supervisor Shamann Walton, who highlighted the impact on community groups reliant on those funds. Many smaller organizations, suffering significant financial losses, testified about their struggles resulting from the Alliance's actions. Supervisor Jackie Fielder has called for further audits of the situation to provide transparency and accountability, amid concerns that this incident could tarnish the reputation of all nonprofits involved with city contracts.
These are funds raised and entrusted by community members, volunteers, and nonprofit staff who are now scrambling to recover from this betrayal.
Some nonprofits are able to sour public opinion for all nonprofits that are contracted with the city to serve their communities.
