Creating Quality Nonprofit Workspace

Located in the historic Letterman Hospital buildings of San Francisco's Presidio National Park, Thoreau Center for Sustainability is a highly successful Multi-Tenant Nonprofit Center. This 12 building facility houses over 60 organizations working for social and environmental sustainability as well as two community-oriented art galleries.
