Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a convenient and flexible way to support the St. Vincent de Paul Society of San Francisco. If you have an established DAF, you can recommend a grant to help provide shelter, meals, and critical services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness, poverty, and crisis.

Your generosity helps bring stability, dignity, and hope to our neighbors when they need it most.
