With experts from across sectors, Tipping Point Community brings together cutting-edge nonprofits, community leaders, and supporters to create a Bay Area where everyone prospers.
We live in a region that believes in possibility. But, we also live in a region that has become impossible for everyone to call home. We build community to advance the most promising poverty-fighting solutions so one day everyone in the Bay Area has the opportunity to prosper.
Sam Cobbs became CEO of Tipping Point in January 2020. At the helm, Sam has expanded Tipping Point’s approach by pairing effective direct service grantmaking with policy work to disrupt the conditions that hold poverty in place.

Not only do we feel great about supporting inspiring Bay Area leaders through Tipping Point, I have learned a lot from the way Tipping Point conducts due diligence and provides capacity-building support to grantees. We have applied many of these practices to our own grantmaking and have funded Tipping Point grantees through our foundation.
As a longtime supporter of Tipping Point, I feel compelled to continue my parents’ legacy of helping people who need it most. Tipping Point listens to those in our region who have not been heard and works to elevate their voices as part of building solutions.
I trust Tipping Point to identify, partner with, and elevate organizations working to alleviate and prevent poverty. I love being part of and learning from a community of people who share a deep commitment to making the Bay Area a better place for everyone.
Tipping Point’s commitment to gratitude, accountability, and equity are vitally important for building partnerships that are changing people’s lives and systems day in and day out. It feels good to be part of a community that believes everyone in the Bay Area deserves a chance to prosper—and is taking bold action to make it happen.
