It's the most wonderful time of the year—time to select San Francisco's favorite charity, as part of our annual contest. We asked readers to vote for their most beloved nonprofits, and this year's numbers were record breaking. But seven charities rose to the top. Each finalist works tirelessly to make the Bay Area a better, brighter place.
To thank these important organizations for their amazing dedication, six of the seven finalists will receive a donation from the Pacific Gas & Electric Company. The one that receives the most votes of all will take home a cool $10,000 to help further their mission. Happy holidays, indeed!
Read about how these awesome charities are helping San Francisco below. Then, click to vote at the bottom of the page. The final round ends on November 26th, so get your vote on!
