In December, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie signed an ordinance establishing a reparations fund for black residents in San Francisco — but no one seems to have any idea who will fund the program.

Lurie, who signed the ordinance after it was unanimously approved by the city's Board of Supervisors, has stressed that no city funds will go toward the controversial initiative.

Instead, the fund is open to private donations. The mayor has said if money becomes available, the city would work to distribute it to eligible recipients.

However, no nonprofit groups or wealthy individuals appear to have come forward with plans to donate to the fund.
