You bring the ideas, we handle the logistics.
Vacant to Vibrant is a program by SF New Deal and the City of San Francisco. We help small businesses collaborate with local property owners to create engaging pop-up experiences and community spaces in downtown San Francisco.
Our team handles everything from managing pop-up permitting to securing city funding so it’s easy for locals to participate in turning vacant storefronts into vibrant gathering places — and help re-energize the neighborhood.
A Program by SF New Deal
SF New Deal is a San Francisco nonprofit that strengthens neighborhoods by making it easier for under-resourced small business owners to succeed. Through diverse programs, SF New Deal has disbursed more than $49 million to more than 1,600 local businesses.
