2019 Tipping Point Impact Report
Last year, 1,073 people did something wonderful—and it made a difference.
Our community donated a total of $39,875,833 to Tipping Point. And because our board covers all our operating costs, 100% of those gifts went directly to fighting poverty.
Together with our grantees, we served nearly a quarter million low-income people in the Bay Area, helping them reach 24,439 life-changing milestones.
But that’s not all. We funded 61 collaborations valued at $1.7 million with best-in-class partners to help our grantees increase their impact. We raised our voices in support of our unhoused neighbors and came together as a community in our biggest event to date.
We’re doing more than ever to connect more people to opportunity. How? By fixing the systems that are making people poor in the first place. Thanks to our community, 24 parking lots are now zoned for affordable housing … thousands of low-income single parents will receive twice as much child support … and there are eight new powerful laws in California that expand support for foster youth and other young people at risk of homelessness.
We couldn’t have done this without you. And we’re so honored to be in this fight with you.
From all of us at Tipping Point, thank you.
