About Advance SF

Advance SF is a San Francisco-based nonprofit public benefit organization that brings together major employers, employers’ representatives, and civic partners to advance policy and programs that strengthen the city’s economy and quality of life. The organization focuses on research, education, and advocacy to inform public policy and private-sector action on issues such as downtown recovery, middle‑wage jobs, and economic resilience. Advance SF operates as a formally registered California nonprofit and is tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3). In recent years it has produced policy reports, convened the Downtown Economic Core Collaborative, and sponsored the San Francisco Survey to inform local leaders and stakeholders about public opinion and economic trends.
