The Pottruck Family Foundation (PFF) was established in 1995 by
David S. Pottruck and Emily Scott Pottruck to improve the lives
of disadvantaged children and youth. Over the next ten years, the
Foundation awarded more than $4.2million in grants, primarily to
education, youth development/youth services, and community-building
programs in San Francisco. In 2005, the Foundation began to commit
a substantial portion of its grants budget to supporting organizations
working with young people in foster care in the San Francisco Bay Area. Currently, the
Foundation focuses almost exclusively on Foster Care, with a particular
emphasis on supporting efforts that will improve the ability of
foster youth to thrive and to successfully transition from care
to adulthood. In addition, the Foundation may decide to
support special projects or civic and community projects that serve
the city of San Francisco at large. Please note that these types
of projects are initiated by the Foundation.
