SFMade is a 501(C)3 Nonprofit Organization Supporting Local Manufacturers Since 2010

For over a decade, SFMade has been breaking down barriers to success by providing vital resources, expertise, and support to makers who have historically lacked access to traditional funding and business development opportunities.

 

Our commitment to economic justice ensures that Bay Area’s manufacturing sector reflects and uplifts our diverse community.

Our network has over 800 local manufacturers in San Francisco, San Jose, and the East Bay sustaining more than 10,000 jobs.

Our values

Connection

We value connection— to people via community, partnerships, and collaboration; to the tangible via supporting the creation of objects; and to place via our investment in the future of the Bay Area.

Resourcefulness

We are adaptable, creative, and entrepreneurial—we’re constantly seeking new and better ways to do things and sharing these ways with others.

Ambition

We’re passionate and driven; we believe in the power of small, intentional actions to create meaningful ripple effects that can positively transform our community and our region.

Empathy

We’re curious, supportive, and deeply invested in the success of our clients; we’re here to put the wind in their sails
