The San Francisco Benefit District Alliance is a 501(c)(6) organization, designed to promote the common interests of the property and business improvement assessment districts within San Francisco. The formation of the San Francisco Benefit District Alliance allows the member districts to advocate for policy change at the local and state level as one unified voice.

The Alliance is led by leaders within each benefit district. These representatives serve on the committees and task forces of the Alliance, including the executive committee, finance committee, governance task force, advocacy task force, or public relations task force.

The San Francisco Benefit District Alliance’s 18-member property based improvement districts (PBIDs), also known as BIDs, CBDs GBDs and TIDs, improve public spaces, and offer public services throughout the City.

That’s why the sidewalks of San Francisco are cleaner and safer, the trash is picked up regularly; graffiti is removed; visitors get directions from local experts, and people receive social services.

This makes the District neighborhoods more welcoming to tourists, shoppers, and residents alike. It promotes the quality of life and a vibrant and stable business community. The services each district provides contributes to the economic development of the community and the City at large.
