Eleanor is not new to community foundations. She joined The San Francisco Foundation in 1993 and served as the education program officer and later, director of programs. Her grantmaking supported early childhood, youth development, public school reform, and strengthening families. She led an effort (the Hewlett-Annenberg Challenge) that resulted in a $100 million school reform initiative, the Bay Area School Reform Collaborative, that transformed teaching and learning and began to close the achievement gap in 87 Bay Area schools. She also initiated the $5 million Quality Child Care Initiative to increase the quality and availability of child care in eight Bay Area counties.
