What Sojourn Chaplaincy Inc does
Mission
Sojourn Chaplaincy's mission is to provide multi-faith spiritual care at the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital ZSFG and DPH clinics. While staff members are skilled in providing resources for physical, mental, and emotional health, Sojourn Chaplaincy completes the circle by attending to the spiritual, religious, and emotional health needs of ZSFG patients, families, staff, and beyond through our services.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
In the 2024 fiscal year, Sojourn Chaplaincy delivered multi-faith and nonreligious spiritual and emotional support to thousands of patients and their families during critical junctures at San Francisco General Hospital. Our chaplains, holding Master's-level degrees and extensive clinical training, represent diverse backgrounds and traditions, enabling them to provide comprehensive support across a wide array of clinical settings within the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) system. Through these services, Sojourn Chaplaincy fosters an environment conducive to hope, health, healing, and transformation for vulnerable populations accessing care at the city's only safety net hospital. Furthermore, our organization extends vital support to healthcare professionals across various disciplines who navigate the unique demands of working within this essential institution and Level 1 Trauma Center. In 2024, we had about 2000 patient visits and 3000 staff encounters.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $215k to $151k (−30%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
100% of Sojourn Chaplaincy Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (87% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $5k → $39k.
3 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 34% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Sojourn Chaplaincy Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Sojourn Chaplaincy Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 81%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
89% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Sojourn Chaplaincy Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 72% · 2021 86% · 2022 73% · 2023 51% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
83% of Sojourn Chaplaincy Inc's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $57k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
Sojourn Chaplaincy Inc's funding base is broadening — from 1 funders to 2 as grant income climbed.
