Philanthropy Stories & Updates
Our approach has evolved, but our values remain unchanged. Our intermediary partnerships with the Decolonizing Wealth Project and Native Voices Rising helped us reach farther without stepping away from what matters.
We're excited to share the details of our collaboration with East Bay Community Foundation's STRONG Collaborative Fund to accelerate $600K in capacity-building funding to grassroots and nonprofit organizations in East Contra Costa County, California.
Magic Cabinet has committed $7.5 million over five years to Native Voices Rising to strengthen Native-led organizations. The partnership combines Magic Cabinet's community-driven model with NVR’s grassroots approach, providing long-term investments and flexible funding to support Native sovereignty and nonprofit capacity.
Sometimes, getting to yes means rewriting the rules. When our capacity-building model became too limiting, we trusted the expertise of our partners—seeding an idea that took root among multiple Magic Cabinet cohorts.
Our team shares insights from the Native Voices Rising Funder Fellowship and 2024 Native Americans in Philanthropy Conference and what we plan to bring forward in our Native Partnerships work.
As a foundation that's deeply committed to resourcing smaller, community-led organizations, we're thrilled to partner with Seattle nonprofit Rooted in Vibrant Communities (RVC) to launch three fiscally-sponsored cohorts this spring.
