OCCUR & SF Foundation FAITHS Program Presents Year-End Celebration: Taking Our Impact Higher!
Even in an era of tumult as we’ve rarely seen before, individuals in great need today are still looking to faiths and nonprofit organizations for answers and support. Many are asking if these institutions can still meet the challenge. Yes, they can.

Even in an era of tumult as we’ve rarely seen before, individuals in great need today are still looking to faiths and nonprofit organizations for answers and support. Many are asking if these institutions can still meet the challenge. Yes, they can.
On Wednesday, Sept. 27, OCCUR and the San Francisco Foundation FAITHS Program presents the year-end celebration of A Model Built on FAITH Impact Series called the Power of Faith and Community. It will be held virtually from 9 a.m.-11 a.m.
In the 2023 series finale, four extraordinary, noted Bay Area, national and international leaders Pastor Paul Bains, St. Samuel COGIC Church and founder of United Hope Builders in East Palo Alto; Dr. Jonathan Butler, associate minister, S.F. Third Baptist Church, executive director of the San Francisco African American Faith-Based Coalition; and DeVone Boggan, founder of Advance Peace in Richmond, will discuss how the unique power of Bay Area faiths and non-profit leaders can meet the challenges we all face now, and even elevate their call to bring change, hope and healing to individuals and communities when we need it most.
The session will be moderated by Dr. Michelle Myles Chambers, FAITHS Program Director at the San Francisco Foundation (SFF). “In the Bay Area, we are blessed with faiths and nonprofit leaders that are action-oriented,” says Chambers who is also a community activist. “Somehow, organizations who themselves survive with very few resources have found a way to provide for the people they serve. How? Of course, they need more funding and other resources to sustain and grow. But what drives them is greater. It’s about justice, impact, and faith. These are the necessary resources they will always have in abundance. And that makes the difference.”
Panelists for this celebration session will discuss and answer questions about:
- The essential role of faith and nonprofit leaders as advocates and activists.
- How to build extraordinary organizations and programs from start to finish.
- How these leaders found funding and other resources for sustainability.
- How partnerships can help elevate growth and impact.
- How Bay Area faith-based and nonprofit leaders can use the intensity of these times to level-up impacts.
- Self-care, words of advice, encouragement, hope, and celebration of all faith-based and nonprofit leaders boldly answering the call to take on unrelenting, heavy lifts.
