Friends of San Francisco Animal Care and Control (FSFACC) is the only organization dedicated to raising funds for the City’s municipal, open-admission animal shelter and its rescue partners in order to enhance or establish programs and services that benefit animals, and serve and educate the public. FSFACC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit all-volunteer organization founded in 2000. Other than funds needed to produce events, flyers, or mailings (under 10% of revenues), all contributions directly support the animal welfare services of ACC and its rescue partners. Volunteer dog-walker Bill Hamilton, Jane Tobin, and a small group of volunteers founded Friends of SFACC in In July 2000 to raise funds for vital programs that are not covered by the City budget, which provides basic care for the animals and pet-related services for humans. The San Francisco Department of Animal Care & Control competes for limited city revenues with approximately 75 other municipal agencies. SFACC does not include a development or marketing department so Friends of SFACC got to work. Building on an initial gift of $5,000, Friends has grown into a strong organization and continues to raises funds to support a number of critical programs. Tax ID: 94-3371620
