During the pandemic, San Francisco experienced an exodus of people leaving the City. We have weathered the storm and are committed to staying and serving. Now, after ten years of serving San Francisco in portable locations, we have been given the opportunity to root ourselves in San Francisco and position ourselves to serve and love San Francisco in ways we've never been able to do before. Canvas finally has a long-term home. When we launched Canvas in 2013, our vision was bigger than Sunday. We did not start Canvas to only offer church services but to be a church of service to San Francisco. And now you can help turn that vision into a reality.
Every Sunday, we will open our doors to all people to experience a loving God in loving community. It will be a space of prayer, worship, healing, and grace where people will discover the Good News of God's love and how to practice the way of Jesus in San Francisco.
A space for impactful collaboration.
A venue for local and global non-profits to share their work. We will use our building as a way to elevate the voices of people and organizations that are doing impactful work in the world.
A space for creativity.
From a co-working space during the week to workshops led by Bay Area leaders and thinkers. Our vision is for the Canvas building to become an intersection of faith and innovation.
A space for the next generation
A safe and fun space for children and families to play and grow together as they root themselves in the City. From after school programs to family workshops, we're committing to invest in the next generation of San Franciscans.
A space to partner with San Francisco leadership
A space that can be used to partner with San Francisco and it's local leadership in a variety of ways in order to build a stronger, safer, and more beautiful future for the city that we all love.
A non-profit coffee shop.
What if you could make an impact in San Francisco for only the price of a cup of coffee? Now you will be able to as we open up a non-profit coffee shop right in the heart of the Presidio. Every cup of caffeination will be used for transformation in San Francisco.
This would be pretty amazing, right?
Here's what it will take...
We need to raise $1.3m

From one blank space to four purposeful spaces.
We will divide 385 Moraga Ave. into four separate & purposeful spaces that will serve San Francisco through creating space for community, gathering, the next generation, and a non-profit coffee shop.
Community Space.
Our community space will be open to the public to work, dream, and drink good coffee from our cafe that supports local causes and initiatives. Need some fresh air to clear your mind? Don't forget to check out the outdoor garden.
Gathering Space.
From church gatherings to open mics, Ted Talks, conferences, and more. Our gathering space will be an intersection of faith and innovation. To do this, we'll need to buy seats, treat the acoustics, and upgrade the audio and video to make this an impactful and life-changing space for San Francisco.
Family Space.
We will build a multi-functional indoor play space that will be used on Sundays and for weekly activities to invest in children and families to grow and thrive in their faith, community, and passions. We've heard San Francisco is a hard place to raise kids. We're seeking to disrupt that narrative.
Non-Profit Coffee Shop.
We're using caffeination for transformation as every cup of coffee will be invested back into local causes and initiatives that will build a better and more beautiful future for San Francisco. Our coffee will not only taste good, even better, it will dogood.
The Gathering Space.
An intersection of faith and innovation that will host a variety of events from Sunday gatherings, conferences, Ted Talks, and more.
The Community Space.
A public community space that will provide a space for those working remotely, meeting with your team, or simply connecting with old and new friends.
The Family Space.
The Family Space will serve families by providing a beautiful space for families to connect, grow, and play as we shape the next generation.
A Non-Profit Coffee Shop
Every cup of coffee will be invested back into local causes and initiatives here in San Francisco. Our coffee will both taste good and do good.
What if you could help shape a city that is shaping the world?
