Help Pregnant Women In Need With Gabriel Project Extraordinary Needs Fund

All donations are 100 percent tax-deductible through the Archdiocese of San Francisco’s Tax ID 94-1156707.

How it works

The purpose of the fund is to offer one-time or short-term help to Gabriel Project clients with extraordinary needs, particularly childcare and/or housing. Other extraordinary, unspecified short-term needs might be eligible. The funds would not be repaid. The funds are allocated to clients who are working with the Gabriel Project, but being part of the ministry is not a guarantee of receiving this help. Each grant of funds would be recommended by an Angel/volunteer and/or Gabriel Project coordinator. Final approval would be by the director of the Office of Human Life & Dignity.

If you choose to donate via check

Please make the checks payable to: Archdiocese of San Francisco, Gabriel Project Extraordinary Needs Fund.

Mail your check to:

Gabriel Project Extraordinary Needs Fund,

“In firmly rejecting ‘pro-choice’ it is necessary to become courageously ‘pro woman,’ promoting a choice that is truly in favor of women. … The only honest stance, in these cases, is that of radical solidarity with the woman.”

Most Reverend Michael F. Burbidge
Chairman, USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities

The Truth about Abortion and Women’s Health

  • Abortion does not save women’s lives.
  • Outlawing abortion will not affect treatment for miscarriage.
  • Women can get the lifesaving treatments they need—without abortion.

If you or someone you know is struggling after involvement in an abortion, the Church offers confidential, compassionate help through Project Rachel Ministry. Contact Us for more information and Help.

Background Information

On June 24, the U.S. Supreme Court issued their decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization holding that, “The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.”

In response, California doubled down on abortion. Voters approved Proposition 1 in November 2022 which codifies a right to abortion for all nine months until birth in the California state constitution. In addition, the overturning of the Roe v. Wade decision has resulted in other extreme measures being enacted by California’s legislature and governor.

Those promoting abortion are also advancing false arguments that state that life-saving procedures in case of ectopic pregnancies would be illegal if abortion were ever made illegal. Click on the link below to learn more about what the Dobbs decision says and what the Catholic Church teaches. You can also download a one-page resource sheet on “The Truth about Abortion and Women’s Health.”

We must redouble our efforts to accompany women and couples who are facing unexpected or difficult pregnancies, as well as to offer mercy to those suffering from abortion.
