About the Organization: SFMade is a California 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, established in 2010 and headquartered in San Francisco. It is the only organization of its kind focused on building San Francisco’s economic base by developing the local manufacturing sector. SFMade’s mission is to build and support a vibrant manufacturing sector in San Francisco, that sustains companies producing locally-made products, encourages entrepreneurship and innovation, and creates employment opportunities for a diverse local workforce. Our vision is a more diverse and sustainable local economy, where companies who design and manufacture products locally thrive, in turn, creating quality jobs for people from all walks of life and contributing to the overall economic and social vibrancy of our City. The Hiring Made Better Program connects local job seekers to open positions at SFMade businesses, with a special focus on San Francisco’s low income, disadvantaged communities and entry level jobs. Helping local people with barriers to employment secure entry level jobs at local manufacturing businesses is mutually beneficial to job seekers and local manufacturers–job seekers are looking for higher quality jobs with the potential to advance, and business owners are looking for hard working, long term employees. The SFMade job board is an important resource to both SFMade businesses and local job seekers. The Hiring Made Better Program also supports SFMade members with HR and employment resources, educational events, connections to professional volunteer advisors, and one-on-one assistance.
