Yes We Can! Today, we welcome President Obama to the majority of Americans expressing support for marriage equality. We are proud that the President is taking this historic step by joining us in our work to create opportunity, respect and equality for all LGBT people.
Here at the Center, we have long worked to create a stronger and healthier LGBT community and a more welcoming and equitable world for all. For 10 years, the Center has been the home for all to gather and celebrate moments just like this. Our community toasts this historic step towards equality. Let’s take this moment to celebrate while we commit to the work ahead of creating opportunities for all LGBT people to find their freedom to be who they really are. Lesbian. Gay. Bisexual. Transgender. Equal.

Business Funding Factory
The Business Funding Factory is a workshop series that provides business owners and motivated entrepreneurs with tools, information and resources to secure the right funding for their businesses to start, grow or expand. This program is perfect for those that have a working draft of their business or expansion plan and will help deepen entrepreneurs’ understanding of capital resources. At the end of the 5-week series, participants will have a unique opportunity to present their pitch to a mock-panel of business experts, investors, funders and lenders. Check our calendar for the next upcoming class schedule and contact Tony Moraga for more information at tonym@sfcenter.org.
