August is Planned Giving Month! A planned gift allows you to state your values while you support services that uplift our communities. This thoughtful gesture ensures that your commitment to helping families and individuals continues. It’s your investment in the lives of your neighbors—and in a vibrant community for all. There are many ways to make an estate gift, but the most popular is a simple bequest.

Woot Woot! You remember walking into school with a new pair of shoes?

Thanks to our community of donors, every school-aged child served by the Midway, San Leandro, and Sister Me Home shelters as well as Bessie Coleman Court is back to school with something new. Shoes. Pants. Backpack.

Each kid got a gift card for $70. This weekend, their mamas are taking them to buy what they need the most. Thank you, generous community!

🏠 HOMELESSNESS IS NOT A CRIME 🚫

Building Futures is 100% committed to supporting unhoused people in our community, including people living in encampments.

Governor Newsom’s recent executive order doesn’t change that. Building Futures will keep pushing for the creation of housing and supportive services for those experiencing homelessness.

This is a challenging issue. The new executive order is not designed to help and may even harm.

Please stand with Building Futures and your neighbors who live on the streets. Stand with us against the criminalization of homelessness.
