San Francisco General Hospital Foundation (the Foundation) is the nonprofit fundraising organization dedicated to promoting equity in healthcare for all at the Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center (ZSFG). ZSFG is the only provider of trauma (Level 1) and 24‐hour psychiatric emergency services for 1.5 million people in San Francisco and northern San Mateo counties. Through private and public fundraising including its signature Hearts of SF event, the Foundation has raised over $245M in its first 30 years and has an expansive 5-year plan to raise $250M to support and fund excellence in patient care and innovation at ZSFG.
A comprehensive medical center, ZSFG provides quality health care with compassion and respect to 100,000 inpatient and 500,000 outpatient visits per year, including many of San Francisco’s most vulnerable community members. Through a long-standing affiliation agreement with UCSF, ZSFG is one of the nation’s top tertiary academic medical centers conducting clinical training and research. The Foundation’s past capital campaign enabled the construction of ZSFG’s state-of-the-art acute care building in 2016, opening new doors to underserved populations in need of the same level of acute healthcare as the best private hospitals, an important step towards increased public health equity. The Foundation is now in the quiet phase of a multi-million-dollar capital campaign to renovate an outpatient center of equal caliber to the acute care hospital.
The Foundation is a mature organization led by a dynamic CEO who is an excellent fundraiser and is laser-focused on ensuring that revenue goals are met and current and future needs of ZSFG are funded. In the past three years, the organization raised nearly $46M annually and consistently has a strong balance sheet. As the organization continues with the quiet phase and prepares future phases of the capital campaign, it will create a refreshed comprehensive fundraising strategy to ensure that time and activities are spent effectively working towards revenue goals, the team has the support and tools to do their best work, and there are established mechanisms for metrics, accountability and transparency.
The Chief Development Officer reports to the CEO and has six direct reports, serves as a key member of the senior leadership team, interacts frequently with the Board of Directors, and is an active participant in making strategic decisions affecting the Foundation.
