Kazan, McClain, Satterley & Greenwood announced today that it has ranked number 37 on the San Francisco Business Times’ 2024 Bay Area Top 100 Corporate Philanthropists List, published on July 26, 2024.
The annual list recognizes 100 top corporate philanthropists ranked by local cash giving. It includes both for-profit companies and nonprofit health care organizations that made contributions to Bay Area based charitable organizations in the following counties: San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma.
While most of the top donors are large corporations, such as Google, Genentech, and Wells Fargo, the Top 100 lists includes a handful of law firms. Kazan, McClain, Satterley & Greenwood, a 20-attorney firm, ranked as the second largest law firm donor, just behind Morrison & Foerster, a global firm with over 1,000 attorneys. Since Morrison Foerster formed its foundation in 1986, it has distributed over $44 million, while the Kazan McClain Partners’ Foundation, founded in 1994, has distributed over $38 million in grants to organizations that support research and treatment for occupational and environmental disease; increase awareness about workplace health and safety; enhance access to education about the legal system; advance programs that provide services to the underprivileged; and provide support for communities in distress, including grants to Bay Area Legal Aid, East Bay Community Law Center, International Ban Asbestos Secretariat, Seven Tepees, Stanford University Hospital, UC Law San Francisco’s Center for Gender & Refugee Studies, UCSF, and Worksafe.
