The Phoenix Project (San Francisco)

As part of the organization's mission to "Uncover San Francisco's dark money trail," the group published a series of white papers detailing large amounts of money in San Francisco politics.^[6][7] In those white papers, The Phoenix Project detailed $33 million raised to influence politics in the city from 2020 through the 2024 election, noting that "that more than half of that—$18 million—is 'dark money,' meaning the donors are never disclosed."^[3]

When, in February 2025, newly elected mayor Daniel Lurie gathered a group of wealthy business leaders to advise him about San Francisco city politics, The Phoenix Project described it as "extremely disappointing" and "a largely Pacific Heights crowd” in reference to the wealthy Pacific Heights neighborhood the mayor resides in.^[8]
