THE FUTURE OF CIVIC CULTURE IS HERE.
THE FUTURE OF CIVIC CULTURE IS HERE.
Support San Francisco’s inaugural, citywide Future of Us Festival
We welcome mission-aligned sponsors who care about supporting local community leaders, investing in arts, culture, and STEM engagement, and building the most vibrant, energizing future possible for our city.
Support a citywide creative celebration of San Francisco, and the futures we collectively want.
Inclusive access.
Opening festival programming including showcase exhibitions, community events, and citywide experiences to residents across the Bay Area, ensuring everyone can participate.
Immersive civic storytelling.
Funding the design and production of large-scale experiences that translate community visions into imaginative futures for San Francisco and the country.
Community leaders and civic builders.
Backing the organizers, culture-makers, and neighborhood connectors who keep our communities vibrant—many of whom are historically underrecognized and underresourced.
Local artists, small businesses and culture-makers.
Investing directly in Bay Area artists, designers, storytellers, and small businesses. The majority of festival funding goes toward local creative talent who help co-create the festival.
