In 1889, as San Francisco reached an early pinnacle of prosperity and achievement, a group of leading philanthropists came together to form Associated Charities of San Francisco, the city’s first general, nonsectarian relief organization.
Over a century has passed since the Association’s founding, but the organization—now known as Family Service Agency of San Francisco—has remained true to this vision of active and compassionate support for San Francisco’s neediest residents.
Today, FSA is the oldest nonsectarian, nonprofit charitable social-services provider in San Francisco, offering comprehensive programs to help change the lives of vulnerable families and individuals, particularly disadvantaged children, at-risk teens, dependent and isolated seniors, and the mentally ill.
We strive to promote healthy families and communities, provide safe and nurturing environments for children, support individual growth and well-being, and improve the quality of life for all San Franciscans.
The success of our work depends on strong partnerships, and it’s thanks to the support of the Bay Area’s many generous individuals and businesses that FSA has continued to serve so many, so well, for so long.
As one of San Francisco’s most enduring charitable organizations, we invite you to join with us – either as a volunteer or as a donor – to make a difference in the lives of the most vulnerable among us.
