We're improving the SPUR event registration process.
Later this summer, we will launch a new ticketing system and we'll be asking you to register for each event you're planning to attend. This will help us keep you informed of any changes and better tailor our schedules and offerings.

 

The budget and fiscal revenue of a city can often seem like a black box. We know that money comes out of the box to pay for necessary services, but where does it come from and what happens to it? Do taxpayers contribute enough to cover the city’s roughly $11 billion budget? How much of that sum comes from agencies that generate some of their own revenue? Are there additional sources? Crack open the city’s books with us and explore where San Francisco gets its money.
