Each year, our grantees help tens of thousands of people on the path to prosperity.

Our Bay Area neighbors rely on nonprofits for critical services and to connect with government programs. Tipping Point finds and funds the organizations with the strongest approaches that have the power to build a better Bay Area for all.

When they thrive, we all do.

Armed with cutting-edge approaches to solving poverty, our grantees still need capital and strategic support to maximize their impact. Tipping Point maintains long-term, trust-based relationships, believing that a strong and effective nonprofit sector can transform our community. We don’t stop there—see how we’re creating the conditions for a better tomorrow.

Tipping Point Community invited us to be co-creators of a network of extraordinary leaders working collectively to solve today's complex problems rather than competing for resources. Being a Tipping Point grantee has opened doors to donors and advisors it would have taken me years to reach on my own. And their investment in me as a leader of color through the POC-Led Executive Fellowship has helped me unapologetically step out on behalf of Braven as myself.

As we grow and respond to the challenges of the times, Tipping Point’s support of our youth-serving organization and housing program has been crucial. The staff is deeply knowledgeable and delivers wise counsel with candor and compassion. Coupled with their generous financial support, it’s a visionary recipe for organizational success, impact, and systemic change.

From Our Grantee Leaders

What I treasure about our partnership with Tipping Point is that we address our challenges together as partners. I know that when I confide in Talia, our program officer, she will serve as a trusted thought partner. And whether we're facing a challenge or considering an opportunity, she will also consider it through the lens of how Tipping Point can leverage targeted investments to support our goals.
