Funding In the 1960's Glide helped the Tenderloin become recognized as an Anti-Poverty District and was able to receive federal funding to support seniors, LGBTQ individuals and the homeless in the area. In 1981, Glide began receiving subsidies from the city for its meals program. As of 2002, individual donations from Sunday mass contributed less than $640,000 of the foundation's $8.5 million revenue. Glide also obtains funding from other various fundraising activities such as their Annual Holiday Festival. From 2000 to 2022, business magnate Warren Buffett raised over $34.2 million for Glide through an annual auction whose winner was invited to have lunch with him.
