We impacted the lives of 90,000 residents last year alone.
Transforming Lives Across the Bay Area
Tipping Point is committed to building a Bay Area where everyone can prosper. Last year, our investments funded life-changing services in housing, early childhood, education, and employment for nearly 90,000 of our neighbors across the Bay Area. These milestones are just snapshots of our impact over the last year.
Snapshot on Housing
Ensuring everyone
has a home.
9,205 people housed
We invest in solutions that move people experiencing homelessness into safe, stable housing and prevent homelessness in the first place.
Our work provided 9,205 people with services that either helped them transition out of homelessness or prevented them from experiencing it.
snapshot on Education
Expanding pathways
to college.
57% college graduation rate
Students who enrolled in Tipping Point-supported programs have a 57% college graduation rate.
Despite serving students with higher needs who face more barriers to graduation, our grantees successfully matched the statewide graduation rate.

Providing early support for children and parents.
93% of babies immunized
Of babies born to people served by our grantees, 93% are fully immunized by age 1.
Nationally, only 61% of children from a similar socio-economic disadvantaged background are fully immunized by age 1.

Increasing access to
livable wages.
77% job training completion rate
Of our Tipping Point grantee clients in workforce programs, 77% successfully complete their training.
For similar programs in California, 54% of people finish their job training.
