At Magic Cabinet, we work creatively and collaboratively to reinvent the sector, so nonprofits can simply do what they do best. We partner with nonprofits, funders, and community leaders to experiment transparently, learn openly, and bring a flexible approach to philanthropy — committed to centering, listening, and adapting to ever-changing community needs.
