Donate

With every donation we receive, we are reminded of two things. First, why we work tirelessly to help San Francisco’s homeless children learn, grow and succeed. Secondly, how humbled we are by our community’s generosity. In times like these we all have many demands on our resources and we thank you for your support.

Our Board of Directors covers 100% of our operational costs,
so each dollar you give will go DIRECTLY to the children and families we serve!


​Please use the form below to make a donation in any amount. This is a general donation, supporting all programs and services provided by COS.  We are a 501(c)3 designated non-profit and our tax identification number is 94-3192608.

Corporate Matching

Many companies have programs through which they will “match” the charitable contributions made by their employees. Through corporate gift matching, your employer can multiply your gift to Children of Shelters.
Check with your company’s Human Resources office to see if they offer gift matching.  Request a matching gift form to send to Children of Shelters along with your donation. Complete this form and mail it with your donation to the address noted in the section below.
Our office will verify receipt of your gift and return the form to your company for matching funds.
