Donate to SFDPH
Your Gift. Their Impact.
The San Francisco Public Health Foundation (SFPHF) is proud to serve as a philanthropic partner to the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH). Through our formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), we are authorized to raise and expend funds that enhance the Department’s programs, services, and operations. This includes both unrestricted and program-specific support that addresses urgent and emerging public health needs in San Francisco.
Each year, the Department outlines its funding priorities in its Annual Needs Assessment, which guides how the Foundation engages donors and cultivates resources for SFDPH. Your support helps fund services that improve the health and well-being of all San Franciscans—especially our most vulnerable neighbors.
What You’re Supporting
From immunization clinics to behavioral health programs, each donation made through the Foundation directly supports a City-led public health initiative. We work closely with SFDPH program leaders to ensure funds are used responsibly and transparently—and in alignment with your philanthropic intent.
Below, you’ll find donation opportunities aligned with current public health priorities. Each link leads to a donation form specific to that program, along with a short description of the impact your gift will make.
