IRS990/Desc0The San Francisco Public Press (sfpublicpress.org) is a nonprofit, noncommercial news organization that produces independent public-interest journalism about under-covered topics, with a focus on under-served audiences. Online and on community radio station KSFP 102.5 FM, we offer local investigative and solutions reporting. Coverage areas include environmental protection, housing affordability, public health, transportation safety, homeless services, digital privacy, immigration and elections. For every local election, we produce a comprehensive, multimedia nonpartisan voter guide. (See our November 2022 guide here: https://www.sfpublicpress.org/november-2022-sf-election-guide/) In 2022, "Civic," our local public policy interview podcast and radio show, produced a smaller number of episodes as we transitioned to a new model involving more in-depth reporting and highly produced episodes. For "Civic," Laura Wenus and Sylvie Sturm conducted original reporting on a range of topics and also built episodes around reporting by other journalists in our newsroom. Other reporters also contributed occasional episodes. (See: https://www.sfpublicpress.org/civic) In February and March, we published two investigations by reporter Nuala Bishari as the culmination of her one-year ProPublica Local Reporting Network Fellowship, through which she investigated San Francisco's methods for getting people out of tents or other short-term shelter and into permanent supportive housing. Her two-part investigative project that was co-published by the Public Press and ProPublica in 2022. (See: https://www.sfpublicpress.org/series/left-out) Throughout 2022, many of our reporters cover issues related to homelessness and housing insecurity. Noah Arroyo and Madison Alvarado reported on how the city and advocacy groups were helping people who might lose their housing as pandemic eviction protections expired. (See a few examples: https://www.sfpublicpress.org/state-not-on-track-to-pay-most-sf-rent-assistance-before-eviction-protections-expire/, https://www.sfpublicpress.org/california-extends-eviction-protections-for-some-kills-local-protections/, https://www.sfpublicpress.org/tens-of-thousands-vulnerable-to-eviction-as-california-protections-poised-to-end/, https://www.sfpublicpress.org/as-statewide-eviction-protections-expire-sf-measure-kicks-in/). Yesica Prado and Jenny Kwon examined fire incident data and reported on the increase in fires at encampments of unhoused people. (See: https://www.sfpublicpress.org/sf-fires-linked-to-homeless-surged-as-pandemic-set-in/) Prado spoke with people employing a grassroots approach to fire prevention in their communities. (https://www.sfpublicpress.org/grassroots-nonprofits-and-homeless-communities-create-their-own-fire-prevention-solutions/). Later in the year, in "'Everything Is Gone, and You Become More Lost': 12 Hours of Chaos as Berkeley Clears Encampment," Prado produced a comprehensive report and photo essay documenting what it's like for people who don't have control over the place where they live. Prado spent 12 hours documenting this episode in which a vulnerable group had their lives thrown into chaos through deliberate action of local government agencies. (See: https://www.sfpublicpress.org/everything-is-gone-and-you-become-more-lost-12-hours-of-chaos-as-berkeley-clears-encampment/) In a three-part series, Viji Sundaram investigated the inconsistent application of a California law enacted in 2021 that allows domestic violence victims to claim coercive control - a broad range of behaviors including humiliation, surveillance, intimidation, gaslighting and isolation that strips an intimate partner of a sense of autonomy and personhood. (See: https://www.sfpublicpress.org/how-californias-coercive-control-law-could-help-women-manipulated-by-partners/, https://www.sfpublicpress.org/expanding-view-of-domestic-violence-gives-survivors-new-tool-but-unsympathetic-judges-remain-an-obstacle/, and https://www.sfpublicpre

IRS990/MissionDesc0The mission of the San Francisco Public Press is to enrich civic life in San Francisco by delivering public-interest journalism to broad and diverse audiences through print and interactive media not supported by advertising. The San Francisco Public Press (sfpublicpress.org) is a nonprofit, noncommercial news organization that produces independent public-interest journalism about under-covered topics, with a focus on under-served audiences. Online and via community radio station KSFP-FM, we offer local investigative and solutions reporting. Coverage areas include environmental protection, housing affordability, public health, transportation safety, homeless services, digital privacy, immigration and elections. For every local election, we produce a comprehensive, multimedia nonpartisan voter guide.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0The San Francisco Public Press served as fiscal sponsor for Mission Local. The following details are repeated on Schedule I, Part I, Line 2: We monitored the use of grant funds by Mission Local through regular conversations - at least monthly - with Lydia Chavez, executive director of Mission Local. All grants and donations received by the Public Press and distributed to Mission Local in 2022 were used to pay staff salaries and freelance journalists. In 2018 we began fiscally sponsoring Mission Local, a news organization focusing on San Francisco's Mission District. Mission Local's journalistic work is in a similar educational vein as the Public Press's and is aligned with our charitable purpose. Mission Local, a legally incorporated entity, filed for and received its own 501c3 in late 2022, after which the organization began receiving and managing its own grants and donations directly.
