About

Good Future Design Alliance

The GFDA’s mission is to raise the public consciousness around the problem of construction industry waste, its contribution to climate change and to human health concerns. We’re an organization working with a cross section of design and build professionals on solutions to reduce furniture and construction waste in landfills, eliminate toxic chemicals in manufacturing, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and encourage energy and natural resource conservation.

Palecek

Respecting the natural environment, planning for future generations, and caring for the health and well-being of our people and partners have been both foundational values and actionable goals for Palecek from our start. We see our efforts in these areas as intrinsically interconnected. From the beginning we have used eco-conscious materials, and we continuously seek new ways to lessen our impact on the environment, while preserving and perpetuating the art of handcrafted furnishings.

As the largest gathering of the LGBTQ+ community and allies in the nation, our annual celebration brings together over 200 parade contingents and exhibitors, and features many community-run stages and venues.

San Francisco Pride is one of the largest LGBTQ+ celebrations in the world. Our mission is to create a space where everyone can come together to celebrate, honor, and uplift the diversity of our community. We are a non-profit organization that is dedicated to supporting the LGBTQ+ community through a variety of programs, events, and advocacy work. We have worked tirelessly to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and visibility, and to create a more inclusive and equitable world for all. Our annual parade and festival bring together over a million people from around the world to celebrate the beauty and resilience of our community.

At San Francisco Pride, we believe that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and valued for who they are. We are committed to creating a world where LGBTQ+ people can live, work, and thrive without fear of discrimination or violence. We are proud of our history and excited about the work we are doing to create a brighter future for all members of the LGBTQ+ community.
