The Tipping Point Community concept is simple - we fight poverty in the Bay Area. But we do it better than anyone else and here's how:

100% Impact

Our board underwrites ALL operating and fundraising costs. 100% of every dollar you donate goes directly to the best poverty-fighting organizations in the Bay Area.

Due Diligence

We do the homework for you. Since 2005, we've screened hundreds of non-profits and made over 300 in-depth site visits to provide essential funding and management assistance to 26 of the best poverty-fighting organizations in this community.

Maximizing Donor Investments

Money alone isn't enough. We take grant-making even further by providing grantees with the management assistance they need to grow and increase their impact. When we can't provide this assistance, we partner with experts who can.

General Operating Support

We don’t just fund the sexy stuff; we let our groups choose what they need most to best serve their clients. Whether it’s hiring a nighttime receptionist, building a more effective database or creating a new website, we provide the general funding and support our groups as they determine how to achieve the results we expect.
