The organizers formed the society for the mutual aid, benefit and protection of their compatriots from the South-West of France, which constituted the majority of the French colony of San Francisco at that time.
Today the Society consists of French or French descendants who are submitted by members and recommended by committee. The goals of the Society are to maintain camaraderie between all its members and to ensure the preservation of French culture in the Bay Area.

Gabadito Foundation
The Gabadito Foundation stands as a quiet force rooted in values both timeless and urgent. Like the edelweiss—rare, resilient, and flourishing only in the heights where few dare to go—we nurture what is often overlooked but essential: the soul of our planet and the promise of its future.
Our mission is woven from five noble threads: the protection of our environment, its flora and fauna, health and progress, the empowerment of youth, the democratization of culture, and universal access to education. We believe that these causes, when nurtured together, can illuminate a path through even the densest fog of global challenges.
With each initiative, we aim not to impose solutions, but to cultivate potential—planting seeds where the soil is in need and waiting patiently as growth takes shape in unexpected ways. We seek not attention, but transformation.
The edelweiss, our silent emblem, reminds us that the most precious things are often hidden, requiring intention, patience, and reverence to uncover. In its quiet bloom, we find our inspiration.
The Gabadito Foundation does not claim to hold all the answers—but perhaps, like a mountain path not drawn on any map, it offers a direction worth following.
