Walter & Elise
Haas Fund
2020 Annual Report
Investing in a more just and vibrant Bay Area for current and future generations.
Reflections
Looking back at — and learning from — 2020.
From Executive Director,
Jamie Allison
Dear Friends,
To state the obvious, it was a challenging year. In 2020, a devastating pandemic piled economic and other severe hardships on top of the effects of a rapidly spreading, deadly virus. And once again racial injustice brought American society to the boiling point and beyond.
Yet, here the Fund remains, still in the fight.
Twenty-twenty was tough, but it also clarified our purpose and our intention. Even under lockdown orders, we at the Fund strengthened our bonds with our community. We reached out to ask, to hear, and to respond to real need.
And, when the realization struck that Covid-19 would upend all our plans, and for more than just a few weeks, we didn’t hesitate to scrap those plans and rebuild them from scratch. We increased our flexibility, adaptability, and reaction speed to focus on being available. We worked on the fly in order to keep arts communities, and immigrant communities, and others in need supported.
If continuing turmoil requires us to revert to crisis response mode again, and again: okay. Since the markers we once depended on to maintain our cadence are gone, we’ll be guided by our shared values. They are more than enough — and have steered us well through 2020.
Our values led us to actions we likely wouldn’t have undertaken if we weren’t faced with turmoil in every direction. We launched the Learning Lab earlier than planned, providing youth with an encouraging space where they could influence the Fund’s grantmaking and public education in the Bay Area. And that led us to another new area of grantmaking: supporting community-based mental health services for youth in response to Covid-19. We developed Arts Learning Pods, addressing our deep concern about families’ need for safe child care, young people’s continued access to the arts, and the solvency of arts communities in a time of no performances, no ticket sales, and no income. We also hadn’t specifically funded rental relief programs before, yet the Fund invested $1 million into rental relief in 2020.
Trustees and staff redoubled their commitment to racial justice, gender justice, and equity. That will be an ongoing piece of our work. Unless we address the underlying issues and causes of inequity, the Fund cannot be as impactful as we seek to be. The Fund’s staff is taking a deep look at its existing grantmaking through a racial justice lens and trustees approved support for a new cohort of racial justice-focused grants. These grants will support community organizing and movement organizations led by Black people and organizations that invest in the Black community’s health and wellbeing.
Trustees also approved an additional draw from the corpus in 2021 so the Fund can continue to address the immediate needs of Bay Area families and communities hardest hit by the pandemic, while building the voices and movements that will guide us toward a stronger, more inclusive society going forward.
I’m proud of this work, of our staff and board; and still, there is so much work left undone.
This was a hard year. We know people are suffering. We know how hard it is to make clear decisions when surrounded by so much uncertainty. Yet, we’re in this fight. And we’re committed to getting closer to a just and vibrant Bay Area every day and in every way we can.
Sincerely,
Jamie Allison
Our Family
The Walter & Elise Haas Fund is a family foundation, and that family encompasses many relationships. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our community of peer funders, government contributors, and individuals — as well as to all our non-profit partners who spared the time during these chaotic days to help guide our grantmaking.
In 2020, dozens stepped up to take part in our first round of Learning Labs. Their input and energy made the most of a forced break from in-person public education. To our inaugural B.A.Y. Fellows — thank you. Our staff took on more, under more challenging circumstances, than ever before. Without you, without them, without the collaboration, we would not have been able to extend support to so many. We are lucky and grateful to work alongside you all.
We extend special thanks to our trustees — specifically John Goldman, our Board President, who in 2020 retired from the board after 24 years of invaluable service. As Pete Haas and Betsy Eisenhardt shift to Trustee Emeriti status, we celebrate them and Charlotte Haas Prime, who steps up into the role of Board President. We also give thanks as Sarah Eisenhardt, Alejandro Foung, and Bradley Haas shift from trustee designates to full voting members of the Walter & Elise Haas Fund Board of Trustees. These new trustees join Daniel Goldman and Jennifer Haas, marking the first time the Board has been composed of members from a single generation of Walter and Elise Haas’ descendants.
