Donate to The Lab

When you support The Lab, you are supporting hundreds of artists across dozens of events annually. We believe that when artists are given the time, resources, and freedom they can create work that challenges us — up to and including the way we operate.

The Lab is a home to events by many other Bay Area institutions, including Small Press Traffic and The Poetry Center at SFSU, Frameline, SF Cinematheque, The Wattis Institute, and many others. Over 30% of our annual budget is dedicated to paying artists a living wage.

The Lab SF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 94-2952488) and all contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
