The most important accomplishment for 2023 for San Jose Parks Foundation was the intense work developing a Strategic Plan for the next several years. The plan was funded in part by a grant from the San Jose City Council, which enabled the foundation hire a consulting firm to lead the Strategic Planning.Several consultants were contacted and interviewed, a Board Strategic Planning Committee was formed and the consultant was hired through a competitive interview process. ALF Insights is the consulting firm that was hired. In addition to full access to the Board and Executive Director, ALF Insights was given a list of leading partners and community connections to interview as part of the background information needed to understand past history and to project future events.The Board Committee began meeting and will continue meeting into 2024 to complete the Strategic Plan. Our partner programs with the City of San Jose continued to increase, with continued growth in post-COVID public participation. Viva CalleSJ, the Open Streets Program, was presented three times: April 23, June 11 and September 10. People of all ages, especially families, filled the streets on every mode of transportation except motorized vehicles.Fiscal Sponsorship of organizations like the Farmworker Caravan and Society of Hearts Delight brought in revenue and served the community by helping these nonprofit efforts serve the community under the foundations umbrella.
