Despite the economic challenges faced by Americans in recent years, WCF donors have continued to help the Fund remain financially stable. Although many non-profits face the prospect of cutting services due to financial shortfalls, our donor network of private individuals, San Francisco city employees and others have generously supported the children served by WCF.
Fundraising for the Workers' Children's Fund is accomplished through various methods. The Fund has 501(c)(3) non-profit status, and receives numerous donations from private individuals on an ongoing basis. In addition, several annual fundraising events have become a familiar part of the landscape in San Francisco's social services network. These include:
The Annual WCF Softball Tournament fundraiser; the 2005 tournament was the
16th annual, and pitted employees of many departments of the City & County of San Francisco, as well as other community groups, against eachother for a weekend of fun and competition, all in a spirit of giving.
The tournament serves the dual purposes of raising funds directly, as well as providing publicity and a positive, familiar tradition to raise awareness of the WCF. The tournament raises approximately $10,000 annually.
The annual San Francisco City Employees Combined Charities drive, in which City & County employees contribute through payroll deductions and one-time
contributions.
An annual Wine-Tasting event that takes place in the Fall, and gives WCF supporters an opportunity to sample local vintages, socialize with like-minded philanthropists, while supporting San Francisco's foster
youth.
Other recent fundraisers have included a Day at the Horse Races, and a fundraising outing to the casino in Cache Creek. Such benefits are an important piece of WCF's fundraising, and allow social workers and other supporters to give to the children, while enjoying time with each other.
