The Human Rights Commission announced awards to several organizations but rescinded this decision after MegaBlackSF raised concerns over potential bias in the grant selection process. MegaBlackSF's letter, lacking specific signatories, alleged that using artificial intelligence for application reviews favored larger nonprofits over Black-led organizations. This contradicted the Dream Keeper Initiative's aim to support Black-centered groups. The HRC committed to reviewing the request for proposals evaluation process and plans to share a revised timeline for the grant by August 8.
