Community Arts Stabilization Trust (CAST) is a nonprofit organization based in San Francisco that focuses on securing affordable spaces for arts and cultural organizations. CAST achieves this by acquiring, developing, and leasing properties to ensure long-term sustainability for creative communities, primarily in rapidly gentrifying urban areas. Established in 2013, CAST was founded in response to the displacement of arts organizations due to rising real estate costs. The organization generates revenue through property management, leasing agreements, and philanthropic contributions. Its mission is deeply rooted in preserving cultural vibrancy and fostering equitable urban development.
