For the 2026-2027 Rotary Year, the Rotary Club of San Francisco and the San Francisco Rotary Foundation have made $10,000 available for emergency grant funding. This new funding opportunity allows the Club and Foundation to respond to important needs that arise during the Rotary year. These funds were intentionally left undesignated during the grant approval process between March 2026 and June 2026 so they can be used for timely projects that may not have been known or anticipated during the regular grant review process.

President Ozan Yasavur (Technical Consulting | Brown and Caldwell) rang the Rotary bell at 12:16 PM on July 14, 2026 and called the second meeting of the 2026-2027 Rotary year to order.
