If sending your opt-out request by email, use this helpful template for San Francisco Museum of Modern Art:
Hello, I'm writing to request that San Francisco Museum of Modern Art permanently remove my address from all direct mail lists, including your internal house list and any rented or third-party lists used to source your mailings. The name and address to remove as they appear on a recently delivered unwanted mailer: [NAME] [ADDRESS] [CITY ST ZIP] A few notes for your direct mail team: • I have never subscribed to marketing communications from San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. • Since I haven't opted in with you directly, the source is most likely a rented or co-op list. Please also flag this address with your list partners so it's suppressed at the source. Please confirm in writing once the suppression is complete. I've attached an image of the mailer for reference. Thank you, [NAME]
Replace the bracketed fields ([NAME], [ADDRESS], [CITY ST ZIP]) before sending. Attach a photo of the mailer if you have one, and keep the reply for your records.

A phone request can take 5 to 10 minutes or longer, depending on the phone tree, hold time, and whether they offer a callback.
What to Expect After Opting Out
- Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. An appeal already labeled can still arrive.

Why Do You Receive San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Mail?
The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art opened on January 18, 1935, as the San Francisco Museum of Art under founding director Grace McCann Morley, on the fourth floor of the War Memorial Veterans Building. Albert M. Bender’s gifts, including work by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, started the collection. The museum added Modern to its name in 1975. Mario Botta’s Third Street building opened in 1995. The Snøhetta expansion opened in 2016 and added free street-level galleries. They also run list-exchange programs with other groups. The leftover mail is a membership or fundraising appeal, not a ticket.
You get that mail if you visited, joined, donated, or landed on a list they mail or exchange. The leftover appeal is often a membership ask after you already let it lapse.

Your Data Privacy Rights (CCPA & Beyond)
A promotional opt-out stops San Francisco Museum of Modern Art marketing mail. It does not always stop the underlying address from being shared. If you live in a state with an active consumer privacy law (California’s CCPA and several others), you can request access to or deletion of your personal information, and you can opt out of sale, share, or targeted advertising.
Go to SFMOMA’s Privacy Policy page, or call +1-415-357-4000, and ask for a deletion or do-not-share request, and to opt out of membership and fundraising mail.
Frequently asked questions
How long until San Francisco Museum of Modern Art mail stops?
Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. If an appeal arrives during that window, it was likely already printed and labeled before your request was processed. A membership or ticket you still pay for will keep coming until you cancel that.
How do I stop San Francisco Museum of Modern Art mail for a previous resident?
Call San Francisco Museum of Modern Art at +1-415-357-4000 and include that person’s name and this address, or use the PaperKarma app to scan the mailer, mark the recipient as a previous resident, and submit the opt-out. Do not mark the person as deceased unless they are deceased.
Will San Francisco Museum of Modern Art mail stop if I move?
Not automatically. Marketing lists are tied to a specific name and address. A USPS forward can send a few more packets to the new address. Call again for the new address, or use the PaperKarma app there.
