The Foundation, which launched in 2016, matches social impact organizations with donated workspace in the local area. The program started in New York City and in 2018, spread to Silicon Valley. Now, having gained significant support from donors and coworking spaces in the Bay Area, All Good Work has expanded its program to San Francisco.

โWeโre very proud of the coworking operators in our program,โ said Nate Heasley. โThey are leading the way and showing that the coworking industry wants to support local community organizations by donating workspace.
โWeโre excited to see this idea catch on in San Francisco, where nonprofits suffer some of the highest rates of displacement. We hope our program grows to include every coworking operator in the area, and eventually in the whole country.โ
