We’re THRILLED to share that our Giving Tuesday campaign was a resounding success! Together, we raised $60,868. We exceeded our goal by several thousand and raised more than double our 2024 amounts. Thanks to the incredible generosity of donors to The Grace Magill Fund and the commitment of our Board of Directors, gifts were matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling the impact of your generosity.
Our campaign this year centered on real stories from Edgewood’s community and leadership. If you missed the emails with these stories, we have them captured here:
Your gifts will support grandparents like Debra in Edgewood’s Kinship Program as they create stability, healing, and joy for the children in their care. The support will also help support our 24/7 Crisis Stabilization Unit, where Justine and her team walk alongside youth and families through incredibly challenging moments. The donations will help keep our Food Bank shelves stocked through the holidays so kinship families and neighbors facing food insecurity can count on nourishing meals and a caring community.
This year also marks the 20th anniversary of the Grace Magill Fund—a legacy born from one young girl’s belief that every act of giving can change a life. By supporting Edgewood, you carry Grace’s light forward, funding programs in art, mindfulness, education, and family support that help young people heal and thrive.
From everyone at Edgewood: thank you for standing with children, teens, caregivers, and families. Your kindness is hope in action.
Your Impact on Youth and Families
Edgewood has stood as a beacon of hope for youth and families in crisis across the Bay Area for nearly 175 years. Your support of the Edgewood Fund allows us to meet the greatest needs across our programs, ensuring that we can continue to:
- Provide youth mental healthcare to children, teens, and young adults facing mental health challenges—offering innovative, comprehensive care that transforms lives.
- Ensure access to nutritious food, basic needs, and wrap-around support for families who need it most.
- Offer family-centered support through compassionate, specialized care.
Why This Matters Now
Too many youth and their families are facing mental health crises on their own. Early intervention and comprehensive support can change the trajectory of a young person’s life. Because of your generosity, we can be there when families need us most. We can provide the care, resources, and hope that create lasting change.
A United San Francisco Bay Area Community
This campaign was about more than meeting a goal. It was about our community coming together to strengthen the health and wellbeing of youth and families across the Bay Area. Whether you gave $10 or $1,000, shared our message, or encouraged others to donate, you played a vital role in making this happen.
Looking Ahead
The momentum from this campaign sustains our work for the months ahead. With your continued support, we’ll keep delivering the compassionate, evidence-based care that makes a real difference in the lives of young people and their families.
From all of us at Edgewood, thank you. Your generosity creates healthier, more resilient communities for all.
