Published since 2005. San Francisco is a city that belongs to the people of the world. Hence this blog has a global focus. The name "Sam Spade's San Francisco" refers to an exciting era in the City's history, the time of Dashiell Hammett's fictional gumshoe and San Francisco character, Sam Spade. My name is Tom Dunn and I edit the blog. I'm not as exciting as Sam Spade, but I am definitely a San Francisco character.Contact or on Twitter -- Search blog below.

San Francisco Community Challenge Grants Now Available
The Community Challenge Grant Program (CCG) provides matching grants to local residents, businesses, non-profits, and other community groups to make physical improvements to their neighborhoods.
The CCG focuses on projects that directly engage residents and businesses in working together to create green spaces, gathering places, public art, and other neighborhood amenities. The program provides an important tool for enabling communities to take the lead in conducting small-scale improvements in their own communities.
Grants are available in amounts for $10,000 to $25,000 with a community match requirement of 25% to 50% depending on the size of the grant and other factors. This is a great opportunity for civic organizations and local non-profits to help beautify our neighborhoods by directly engaging residents in the process.
The deadline for application is Wednesday July 9 at 4 p.m.For More information and to download a grant application go to www.sfccgp.org
