The Brighter Futures Campaign
Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco’s Brighter Futures Capital Campaign is the most ambitious fundraising campaign in the organization’s 119-year history. Designed to position the Club for the next 30 years of service to the city, it seeks to raise $38 million to enhance facilities, expand programs and services, attract and retain the highest-quality staff possible, and provide long-term sustainability. The campaign officially launched at the organization’s annual fundraising event on March 19, 2008.

Campaign resources will go toward giving San Francisco youth the safest and best possible spaces to learn and grow — as well as the experiences, programs, and guidance to help prepare them for their futures.
Campaign Goals
1. To positively, significantly, and measurably impact the lives of tens of thousands of San Francisco youth in the coming decade
2. To ensure that Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco members graduate from high school, pass the exit exam, and become contributing members of this community
3. To ensure that our members are “college bound”, “job ready”, or enrolled in a trade school when they graduate
4. To lower the rate of juvenile violence in the communities we serve
Campaign Elements
Construction
The campaign features four capital projects: a new Club in Hunters Point; renovating the Mission Clubhouse; renovating or moving the Ernest Ingold Clubhouse; and renovating Camp Mendocino, our residential summer Camp. Read More
Operations
The Operating Fund allows us to strengthen programs and services, with new and enhanced initiatives in the key areas of education, mental health, and teen services. It allows us to meet key short-terms objectives while expanding our long-term capacity to absorb these expenses. Read More
Endowment
An increased endowment—plus a strong annual fund—will enable us to meet our commitments to the thousands of young people and their families who will rely on us for years to come. The endowment will also produce additional resources for vital objectives, like attracting and retaining the best non-profit staff. Ultimately, growing the endowment bolsters sustainability, so we can provide generations to come with profound opportunities.
“All of our campaign projects are targeted at developing a generation of young people who are educated and job-ready, with strong values and great social skills, who will build a healthy workforce and a strong community.” Campaign Co-Chair Rocky Fried
