Foundation president, Harvey Fineberg, and chairman emeritus and co-founder, Gordon Moore, discuss the Statement of Founders’ Intent with staff.
Based in San Francisco and founded in 1958, Greenbelt Alliance shapes the rules that govern growth around the San Francisco Bay Area so that the right development happens in the right places. It is the only Bay Area organization that holistically addresses land-use issues across the region—including land conservation, smart growth development and their intersection.
The alliance brings together community members, decision-makers, business leaders, labor unions and organizations to find innovative solutions to the Bay Area’s growth challenges. It works both regionally and locally, blending high-level policy expertise with tangible, meaningful action. The organization’s work ranges from saving farms in Santa Clara County and wildlife habitat in Sonoma County to revitalizing commercial strips in Silicon Valley and Oakland. Greenbelt Alliance’s goals are to fully protect the Bay Area’s 3.6 million-acre greenbelt of natural and agricultural lands, to direct all new development into already urbanized areas and to foster greenbelt protection and urban development that benefits Bay Area residents across the socio-economic spectrum.
Our work with the Greenbelt Alliance includes support of report which will provide information on Bay Area open spaces threatened by development and an analysis of threats to Bay Area habitats from housing development and sprawl.
