About
Tipping Point is a non-profit based in San Francisco, that breaks the cycle of poverty in the Bay Area for the 1.7 million people who don't have the resources to meet their basic needs.
Since 2005, Tipping Point has raised more than $260 million to educate, employ, house and support those in need in the Bay Area. Last year, we helped 21,000 people connect with opportunities that break the cycle of poverty.
We do things differently.
