pacsaw receives sfac grant

In 2023, the San Francisco Arts Commission awarded PacSAW its largest grant ever—$30,000!

This generous funding allowed us to enhance and expand our curriculum while ensuring our teachers receive competitive hourly wages. It also enabled us to launch a brand-new summer program at the San Francisco Community Music Center, offering a vibrant camp experience filled with music and theater.

Additionally, the grant helped us establish the Student Teacher Artist Program, where high school and college students train with us to become future educators. We’re especially proud that our first two student teachers were PacSAW graduates!

We actively reach out to every public middle and high school in San Francisco—including underserved schools and organizations—ensuring our program is as accessible as possible to all interested students.

These are exciting times, and it’s all thanks to you! None of this would be possible without your continued generosity and support.
