SCRAP TO THE FUTURE

Raising $7,500,000 to relocate, transform our new site, and enhance SCRAP’s future!

SCRAP is buying a building, and our new home is just blocks away in the Bayview at 141 Industrial Street! With 26,000 square feet in a two-story stand-alone building, our new location provides twice as much space to expand our operations, grow our programs and deepen our impact in the community.

SCRAP's new home checks all the boxes on our wishlist!

✅ A safe, secure space in the neighborhood where our impact is greatest

✅ Free secured parking + access to transit options

✅ Loading dock + street level access

✅ Square footage for expanding our programs + services now and into the future

✅ A financial investment in SCRAP’s future that is within our capacity

SCRAP will occupy the ground floor with a renovated Arts Depot, dedicated workshop space, exhibition space, and proper areas for our staff and volunteers. After closing our former location of 25 years, SCRAP will move to our forever home in August 2026!

WHAT SCRAP NEEDS

Almost halfway to our goal, and your support will help us get there!

We're thrilled to launch our public campaign and have raised over $3.3M with donations pledged from our generous, loyal supporters! Now we need your help to raise $500,000 to complete the next phase of our renovation. Your tax-deductible contribution will help us:

↗️ Secure our future in a safe + accessible building in San Francisco

↗️ Build out the Depot to offer an expanded + delightful experience

↗️ Outfit our workshop space + display areas to double our arts education offerings

↗️ Fully relocate spaces + open the Depot to the public on August 15

Join us in building SCRAP as a vital Bay Area hub at the nexus of creativity, education & sustainability!
