Do you remember your first scene, the catalyst that launched you into your current journey of sex-positive living? Butterflies in your stomach; that mix of fear and excitement; curiosity buzzing high…those last few steps bridging your long-awaited fantasy to the reality of here and now. Perhaps you wanted to learn more about these fantasies and explore the depths of your Self. You probably went online in search of community, classes, and parties. Perhaps the first event you found was not your thing, but luckily there were other venues hosting events on the same night…and every night!

About SF Catalyst.

SF Catalyst is a community-run educational and social space in the South of Market neighborhood of San Francisco. The 2000+ sq. ft. space is available for use by groups, organizations, and individuals for events that are in alignment with the mission of The San Francisco Bay Area Leather Alliance, an all-volunteer-run non-profit organization, which is to create a welcoming and supportive environment for members of the SF Bay Area Leather, Fetish, Kink, & Motorcycling communities. The space has been through a few incarnations and has been an important part of the community for over ten years.

Why we need your help.

SF Catalyst is an old space under new management. Our number one priority is to establish itself as a true home for our diverse community:

One of our goals is to work toward rebuilding bridges to the previously-alienated BIPOC community.
We are committed to making our space more accessible and ability-diverse.
We also wish to offer attractive pricing to broaden access of the space to new and well-established groups and individuals in underrepresented communities.

Over the last year and a half, we have gone through many growing pains and growth experiences. A team of volunteers works with potential party hosts to guide them through the process of booking, planning, and advertising parties. Our previously-vetted independent professionals looking to rent the space on an hourly basis will be able to do so with fewer delays. Although we have an amazing team of volunteers, we need help from our greater community in both donations and space rental so we are launching a fundraising campaign.

In helping us with this campaign you not only get some great rewards, you'll be helping SF Catalyst establish itself as a safe and diverse space for everyone to express their sexual freedom in a way they might not otherwise be able to in their day-to-day life.

How else can you help.

SF Catalyst is available for private bookings to groups and individuals. Email reservations@sfcatalyst.org to inquire.
