NEXT Village San Francisco

What NEXT Village San Francisco does

NEXT Village San Francisco is a 501(c)(3) neighborhood nonprofit (Tax ID 80-0476158) that operates a membership-based volunteer support network for adults aged 60 and older living in northeast San Francisco, primarily San Francisco Districts 2 and 3. Its core services are volunteer-driven: grocery shopping, prescription pickup, errand running, buddy check-ins, technology teach-ins, and social engagement activities designed to help seniors remain in their own homes as they age. The organization augments these services with structured programming including District 2 University workshops, online exercise classes (Flex Together), a monthly newsletter, a YouTube channel, and a weekly podcast called 'Not Born Yesterday' distributed via Spreaker. During the COVID-19 pandemic it also coordinated city testing access and meal delivery through Great Plates Delivered.

The business model combines three revenue streams: annual membership fees set at a $120 minimum with subsidized tiers available for those unable to pay; individual donations including planned and legacy giving; and partial operating grants from the City and County of San Francisco Department of Disability and Aging Services (DAS). Members enroll directly through the website or by phone, and services are delivered in-person by trained volunteers coordinated by a small professional staff. The organization holds no app and operates with minimal proprietary technology beyond its website, podcast, and YouTube presence.

Strategically, NEXT Village SF is embedded in the village movement ecosystem through affiliations with Village Movement California and the Village to Village Network, and maintains operating partnerships with the SF DAS, Self-Help for the Elderly (a large API-focused senior services nonprofit), the Rupe Foundation (which funds its caregiving series), and cultural organizations such as the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Leadership is anchored by Executive Director Jacqueline Jones. The organization is not a venture-backed or growth-stage entity; it is a community-rooted nonprofit whose scale is bounded by its single geography and volunteer-driven delivery model.
