Airbnb’s Brian Chesky is giving $100 million to San Francisco—its largest single-donor gift ever—and the mayor wants others to follow

Airbnb cofounder Brian Chesky is donating $100 million to San Francisco, the largest single-donor gift in the city's history, earmarked to accelerate five park projects. Mayor Daniel Lurie is using the contribution to push private philanthropy as a funding source for civic priorities amid strained public budgets. The gift highlights the growing role of tech wealth in local infrastructure and could set a precedent for other donors. Watch whether Lurie's call for others to follow draws additional private commitments and how the park projects proceed.
