How Weird Street Faire is the annual benefit for the educational nonprofit, World Peace Through Technology (https://wptt.org/). WPTT’s primary education project is the Immersive Learning Center (ILC), which provides STEAM educational opportunities to one of the least-served communities in California for free, six days a week. How Weird also supports other nonprofits and local charities. In the past year, donations have gone to the Haight Ashbury Food Project, Art of Peace Project, United Playaz, ARC San Francisco, ARC Solano, Sunset Youth Services, and others.
