Dear Friends,

At this time, Friends of Upper Noe Recreation Center has no ability to receive and bank donations.

Friends of Upper Noe Recreation Center (FUNRC) has been a registered 501(c)3 non-profit group through our fiscal sponsor the San Francisco Parks Alliance (SFPA). They acted as a bank and allowed groups to receive tax-deductible donations. We are deeply troubled by the recent allegations of mismanagement at SFPA, the loss of personnel, and the inability to access our funds. While we had hopes that new management provided hope for the future, our funds are now essentially frozen, putting on hold projects like the popular Concerts In the Park summer music series and purchases of equipment. FUNRC had joined with other park groups to seek answers and solutions in an effort to save SFPA. However, as of June 2, 2025, the SFPA board made a decision to permanently shut it down and liquidate it. We have no word about the fate of our banked funds.

Thank you for your interest in supporting Upper Noe Recreation Center. We appreciate your kind consideration.
