COMMUNITY SUPPORT

A note about the impact of COVID-19 on the way we serve our community: Folsom Street lost 89% of our revenue in 2020, and 78% in 2021. As a result we had to reevaluate how we serve our community as a 501c3 nonprofit. We’ve changed the way our events are run since not having the resources to issue direct grants to the dozens of organizations we’ve worked with in the past. We have created opportunities for our partner organizations to fundraise at our events, and in 2021 we opened a community center in SOMA (which is nearing our third year in operation!) We support dozens of local organizations, groups and clubs, welcoming hundreds of community members to classes, arts and culture events, and social events. We’ve partnered with the SFDPH to continue to offer clear health information and access to our communities, and will keep looking for ways to serve the whole alternative sexualities community!
