We are proud to partner with Steve Oliver and his son Josh, who bring a deep history of supporting the arts in San Francisco. Together they lead a construction and development firm with nearly 80 years of experience and a long-standing commitment to nonprofit real estate. Reflecting a genuine belief in SCRAP's mission, they will lead our build-out and financing with terms and a repayment timeline designed for SCRAP's long-term financial sustainability. Their partnership and guidance allow us to confidently embrace our new home.
Additionally, Cavagnero & Associates have committed 1100 hours of pro-bono architectural design.

"So many arts nonprofits in San Francisco have faced similar challenges in recent years: a ticking clock, a tech-inflated real estate market, a strained funding landscape. The details are different, the outcomes familiar — closure, downsizing, “going nomadic.”
Not SCRAP. Living up to its name, the nonprofit has now achieved the seemingly impossible: purchasing a building and moving on its own terms."
We are so proud to share that 2025 was SCRAP's most successful year in our nearly 50-year history — a milestone built by this community, measured in so many ways...
Behind every number are teachers who stocked their classrooms, young people who discovered a love of making, and neighbors who found belonging here. None of it happens without you! Your belief in SCRAP made 2025 possible and will carry us forward
"I love that SCRAP is multidimensional and takes a holistic approach to addressing the MANY issues in our community. It challenges me to think differently about my art, my waste and how I treat materials and the environment.”
