local levels , including grants from the EPA , the State of California , the Bay Restoration Authority and the City and County of San Francisco . The development agreement for the 700 Innes project obligates the developers to pay the full cost of design and construction for India Basin Open Space and Big Green , as well as to establish a Community Facilities District to support the Recreation and Park Department ’ s long-term maintenance costs for these portions of the Park .
Although significant financial investment has been secured , the India Basin Waterfront Park project is not yet fully funded .
Project partners are committed to continuing resource development throughout the lifespan of the project , in coordination with the aforementioned project partners . More funding is needed , not only to complete all phases of park construction but to fulfill plans to invest in the community ’ s health and stability beyond the park boundaries ( See Appendix D ). The
Project ’ s remaining fundraising goal at the time of publication is $ 50 million and includes at least $ 10 million for the implementation of EDP initiatives .
The Park Project commissioned a study by fundraising consultant CCS , a national firm that has supported philanthropic campaigns by the National Museum of African American History and Culture , Jazz at Lincoln Center , the National Urban League and the Presidio ’ s Tunnel Tops ark . The study research included data collection , predictive modeling and analytics , approximately 34 strategic donor conversations , eight additional community member discussions and an online survey which was completed by 460 respondents . The study indicated that 92 percent of interviewees had a very positive perception of the project , while 96 percent believe that the fundraising campaign goal is achievable . Furthermore , 70 percent were willing to make a gift and 60 percent were willing to help fundraise .
