A forever home for community, creativity, and independence

For the last year, we have been privately pursuing a big goal: to raise $7 million to purchase our building, invest in technology upgrades, and expand our programming, ensuring that The Roxie remains a cherished and thriving institution in SF for the long haul. 

We are closing in on our goal and only have $1.5 million left to raise, thanks to early support and enthusiasm of our community and generous donors who care deeply about San Francisco film culture. Now, we’re calling on everyone who values the creative, independent, community spirit the Roxie represents to help us achieve this goal and secure the future of the Roxie forever.

Join the Poppy Society

As part of this campaign, we have launched a new, special circle of Roxie donors. The Poppy Society celebrates and honors major donors to the Roxie. Named after the Poppy Theater, the original name of the Roxie’s historic home on 16th and Valencia Street, this society connects modern supporters with over 110 years of cinematic history in San Francisco.

Being part of the Poppy Society also comes with all kinds of perks! We’re excited to celebrate this group and build the community in the coming years.

Gifts of all sizes make a difference. Thank you for your support!
