As a non-profit, we’re first and foremost guided by our mission statement, which says in part “The historic Roxie Theater exists to ignite and sustain a rich cinema culture in our diverse city and beyond. We offer community-focused programming where audiences engage with films that entertain, educate, and inspire. ” This inspires everything we do.

Our aim is to keep improving in order to serve our communities better, standing strong at 16th and Valencia as a place where anyone can come watch a movie, be moved, and feel like they’re a part of the fabric of the Roxie, of the Mission, and of the City we love.

If our mission inspires and resonates with you, then we invite you to contribute today.


Your donation to The Roxie entitles you to thank-you gifts as well! This year for donations of $25+ we’ve created a keychain of our iconic neon blade. Donations of $55+ receive the keychain and a limited-edition Roxie tote bag designed by Yancy Martinez and printed by our friends at Babylon Burning, a fellow SF Legacy Business.

And we for donors at the $120+ level: you will receive all of the above plus the first-ever Roxie crewneck sweatshirt (also printed by Babylon Burning), as well as onscreen recognition in our pre-show trailer reel and a social media shout out!
