Legacy Giving That Strengthens Housing and Homeless Services

We see this spirit reflected in extraordinary acts of generosity and trust.

Among them are Anne Halsted and Wells Whitney, whose legacy commitment—designating 5% of their estate—has had a transformative impact. This year, their foresight accounts for nearly 6% of our operating budget, strengthening the foundation needed to expand our housing services in San Francisco and meet growing needs.

Legacy giving plays a critical role in ensuring long-term stability for nonprofits addressing homelessness, allowing organizations like North Beach Citizens to respond to urgent needs and invest in sustainable solutions.
