The Equity and Innovation Grants (EIG), formerly Hearts Grants, embodies impactful philanthropy through dynamic partnerships. Since 2004, this program has blossomed into a “high leverage” force. By fortifying partnerships between ZSFG and the SFGHF, it has not only distributed over $13.5 million, but also catalyzed trailblazing initiatives at ZSFG that improve the health and well-being of all San Franciscans.
In its growth, this grant program has become a pivotal nexus, fostering collaboration that extends far beyond its initial scope. The flexible funding and support provided over the years continue to evolve, addressing the diverse needs of patients and providers at ZSFG.
The EIG program will consider a range of support strategies, such as general support for new or existing initiatives, training and capacity building.

2025 Priorities
