Give

SOME relies on private donations from individuals, foundations and corporations to provide services to thousands of poor and homeless adults and children each year. In fact, more than half of SOME's annual budget comes from individual donors.

When you donate to SOME, you help to alleviate pain, hunger, and isolation for our city's most vulnerable residents. And because of SOME's low overhead costs, you have the confidence of knowing that your contribution will indeed be used to help those most in need. Your contribution makes a world of difference!

Gifts for SOMEone Special

SOME offers this creative catalog, Gifts for SOMEone Special, so you can give a gift that will truly make a difference in the life of a child or adult in need.

Planned Gifts

SOME receives significant contributions each year through Planned Gifts which provide lasting benefits for SOME while planning for your future.

SOME Sustainers

Members of the SOME Sustainers pledge a regular contribution from their checking account or credit card. Your membership in the Sustainers program provides us with reliable monthly support, reduces the cost of processing your donations, and ensures speedy delivery of your gift.
