Our Mission
UCSF Community and Government Relations (CGR) is UCSF's most direct link to our neighbors, community groups, and government officials. The CGR staff is committed to fostering the spirit of honest communication, mutual understanding, and creative collaboration with the people whose neighborhoods and concerns we share.
Community Relations informs the community about UCSF campus plans and activities, gathers community feedback about upcoming projects, and relays any concerns or suggestions to our campus decision makers.
Government Relations acts as a liaison between UCSF and government decision makers at the local, state, and federal level. This department helps UCSF obtain necessary public funding and also advocates for public policy that supports the university’s teaching, patient care, research, and public service programs.

UCSF is continually growing and evolving to best serve people in the local community and beyond.
UCSF often has surplus items in its warehouse including office furniture, file cabinets, computers, printers, and more. The University gives local nonprofits a chance to obtain these items free of charge.
UCSF also co-sponsors the use of conference facilities for San Francisco nonprofit organizations at the Parnassus Heights, and Mission Bay campuses. These subsidies offer local nonprofit groups access to our facilities for meetings, conferences, and other events at reduced cost. Annual subsidies are limited and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
UCSF’s Long Range Development Plan guides the university’s physical development over a 15-year period.
UCSF is the second largest employer in San Francisco and is committed to providing jobs to local residents. To this end, UCSF has implemented various workforce development programs aimed at providing training, internship and employment opportunities in various fields.
