About SAN FRANCISCO FOSTER YOUTH FUND

San Francisco Foster Youth Fund (SFFYF) is a donor-facing 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has funded extracurricular activities, summer camps, college scholarships, travel for family reunions, and essential items for San Francisco-origin youth in foster care since 1986. The assistant verified the organization by cross-checking the EIN 94-3048844 against the charity’s own website and public nonprofit records; the EIN listed on the charity’s site matches IRS/Nonprofit Explorer records and the organization is active and soliciting donations and volunteers. The Fund operates with an unpaid volunteer board, reports that roughly 95% of donations go directly to youth services, and runs annual fundraising events (for example a Mighty Fine Wines auction) plus grant and scholarship programs serving hundreds of youth each year.
