Fisherman's Wharf Community Benefit District WHARF FEST SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

About the Fisherman s Wharf CBD The Fisherman s Wharf Community Benefit District (FWCBD) was founded in November of 2005 by the business and property owners of the San Francisco neighborhood. The district is funded through an annual assessment for 15 years from the property owners. The association is also a 501(c)(3), which allows the organization to apply for federal, state and locally funded grants, as well as to seek out sponsorships from companies with a philanthropic division. The Community Benefit District serves as a catalyst for unification of Fisherman's Wharf constituents to support a positive change to their San Francisco neighborhood. The purpose of the FWCBD is to preserve and enhance its vast waterfront landscape and multi-cultural heritage, while integrating modern efficiencies to enrich the experience of visitors from both near and far through market research, brand and destination marketing, sidewalk operations, district beautification, traffic and urban planning, and emergency preparedness.
