Donate
You are loved, and everyone deserves to know they are, too.
When you include San Francisco Night Ministry in your legacy, you extend that loving truth far beyond your own lifetime. Your gift becomes a lantern on the street, a gentle voice on the Care Line, and a reminder that love doesn't end with us.
SFNM Funding Facts
For 60 years, Night Ministry has walked San Francisco’s streets every single night — because no one should face the dark alone.
Individual gifts keep us going: more than 90% of our donations are under $500.
Last year, our Care Line answered 7,641 calls — many from people who didn’t think they’d make it to morning.
We’ve been queer allies since 1964 — long before it was safe or popular.
Night Ministry is powered by an interfaith team: Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, earth-based, and more.
Grassroots giving keeps us independent — free to serve with compassion, not tied to red tape.
In 2022, we made nearly 35,000 ministry contacts — every one a story of hope.
We’ve trained 90+ emerging chaplains and leaders through our accredited Clinical Pastoral Education program.
When mainline church funding declined, individuals like you stepped in — and kept us walking.
Your gift is more than money — it’s a lantern in the night, a voice of love, a lifeline of hope.
Let your love live on.
