Donor News Summer 2012
Dear Friend,
As summer draws to a close, I take stock of the many critical issues at the national, state, and regional levels. Decisions on budget and tax reform, affordable housing, public parks, and water access and sustainability are all on the November ballot and all have significant implications in our Bay Area communities. With your support, The San Francisco Foundation works in the public policy arena and closely with our government partners to achieve systems change more powerful than any single grant.

A Lasting Impact – A Legacy Partnership – Gilbert and Marie Cleasby
|

|
He was a highly regarded ophthalmologist, she a master gardener. Together Gilbert W. Cleasby, M.D. and Marie Mendenhall Cleasby cared deeply about helping those in need, and left a legacy that is improving the lives of women and children and strengthening the community for us all.
The Cleasbys were long-time residents of San Francisco, world-travelers, and supporters of meaningful causes throughout their lives. When it came time to think about their legacy, the Cleasbys’ estate planning attorney, Mary White, encouraged them to name The San Francisco Foundation in their will to manage their legacy.
“The San Francisco Foundation made it easy for the Cleasbys to turn their complicated assets into meaningful gifts to the community,” said Mary. Read the rest of the Cleasbys' story at www.sff.org/cleasbys
