For 40 years, Rafiki Coalition has shown that lasting health begins with trust, culture, and community. As we look to the future, we are building a permanent home for culturally affirming care, community healing, and opportunity – where every person feels seen, supported, and empowered to thrive. Together, we can ensure this legacy strengthens Black health in San Francisco for generations to come.
Forty Years of Culturally Affirming Care
Rafiki Coalition is working to make the Umoja Health Access Point hub self-sufficient, so care for San Francisco’s Black community never depends on who holds office.
• $5 million enables the outright purchase of the building that houses Umoja, plus renovations and construction to tailor the building for all future medical care.
• $2.5 million funds a year of the Hub’s critical programs and operations.
Every gift helps Rafiki reach its goal to expand its culturally affirming care to more of those in need.
