Mission Statement and Board Members
Mission Statement:
The Mission Dolores Neighborhood Association (MDNA) was founded and exists to help facilitate completion of the historic survey work of the Mission Dolores Neighborhood, San Francisco, CA, and then have appropriate areas registered as official historic districts. There will be one large district, with additional smaller districts. The findings will follow CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) guidelines.

After this work is completed, we plan to help preserve this outstanding neighborhood for generations to come. We are a preservation organization, plain and simple. Yet we're not against quality new construction and design, as long as contributory buildings are not demolished in the process.

In addition, we work closely with our sister organization, Safe Clean Green: Mission Dolores, which focuses primarily on quality of life issues, yet strongly supports our preservation goals. We also proudly support our ethnic, cultural and economic diversity.

Our neighborhood is bounded by Market Street, the Central Freeway, Valencia Street, Twentieth Street, and Church/Sanchez Streets (transitioning at Seventeenth Street). Please refer to the Mission Dolores Historic Context Statement, unanimously adopted by the San Francisco Landmarks Advisory Board on September 19, 2007. This document can be viewed by going to the San Francisco Planning Department's web site or under Documents on this web site.

The Mission Dolores Neighborhood is a sub-area of the Inner Mission. Mission Dolores Parish is the namesake of our neighborhood, as well as the broader Mission District.
