Are subsidies available for conference center facility use?
We co-sponsor the use of UCSF conference facilities for San Francisco nonprofit organizations at our Laurel Heights, Parnassus Heights, and Mission Bay campuses. These subsidies offer local nonprofit groups access to our facilities for meetings, receptions, conferences, retreats, and other events. Annual subsidies are limited and are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Please see the instructions on how to apply for a subsidy.
