Partnerships For Change
a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization headquartered in San Francisco.
From our office in San Francisco’s Presidio, Partnerships For Change (PFC)- a 501(c)(3) nonprofit- has been responding where the need for change is greatest for over 35 years.
We’ve taken on some of the hardest challenges—working in war zones and conflict areas, including Afghanistan—earning us a prestigious award from the European Union. The Vatican and Oxford University invited us to co-publish a major book, and we’ve helped bring The Ten Green Commandments to the world in 37 languages, inspiring global ecological action.
We educate and empower disadvantaged young girls and women from remote villages in India and Nepal to become economically self-sufficient.
We support transformational advances in cancer care like the SAGE Oncotest™ from SageMedic.
We offer mental health resources like TrustCircle and provide emergency aid to refugees.
With trusted local partners we distribute aid, education, and health programs in the San Francisco Bay Area and globally.
We have provided over $40 million dollars in financial support to exceptional projects thanks to the generosity of our wonderful donors including Melinda Gates and Pivotal Ventures, The Barbra Streisand Foundation, Marc and Lynne Benioff and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
We disrupt the status quo by harnessing compelling stories, strategic partnerships, and direct, on-the-ground humanitarian action that transforms lives globally. Partner with us today and become a catalyst for lasting change.
