Nonprofits are a lifeline to our community in need. To maximize our portfolio grantee's impact, we provide strategic consulting and custom support.
Supporting our grantees isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Once an organization enters our grantee portfolio, we partner with them to determine how our customized supports can best increase their impact.
Tipping Point empowers JobTrain to continually grow and improve both tactically and strategically. With Tipping Point’s support, JobTrain has built a more competent and healthy team, strengthened our impact evaluation capabilities, refreshed our brand during a period of growth and change, and much more.
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.
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.
We seek grantees with cutting-edge approaches. Once they enter our portfolio, we look at seven criteria to determine areas where they can build on their strengths and then we partner to develop tailored support plans to deliver maximum impact.
Our 7 Criteria: Board Governance. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Financial Management and Sustainability. Operations and Infrastructure. Performance Management. Program Design and Delivery. Talent.
We work with our grantees to build long-term roadmaps that determine how our financial support and custom engagements can improve their outcomes for our community.
Our team engages best-in-class consultants to execute on support projects, such as: strategic planning, leadership fellowships, custom projects for organizational needs like fundraising, peer learning spaces, and portfolio-wide collaboration to share challenges and learnings from the field.
From leadership fellowships to portfolio-wide offerings, we support organizations to better serve low-income residents on a path to prosperity.
Designed by and for leaders of color, the POC-Led Executive Fellowship program supports grantee leaders on their journey towards even greater and more equitable impact.

To help close the racial leadership gap in the nonprofit sector, the Emerging Leaders program supports the development of equitable organizational practices and offers leadership development opportunities for mid-level leaders of color.
