Notice to Donors
Donations will be acknowledged and listed on a City of San Francisco website.
Please contact 3-1-1 (see "Contact us" above) if:
- If the donation is being made by a corporation or an association. (We will ask you to send us an email confirming that the donation will be posted on a CCSF website), or

In both cases, you may make your donation now.
Please note: Donations of $10,000 or more must be officially accepted by the City through a vote of the Board of Supervisors.
