We’re Opening Up New Paths
for Philanthropy
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.
Magic Cabinet Initiatives
Community Grantmaking
We support the whole nonprofit, not just its programs. By focusing on long-term grants on capacity building we enable community-led and focused nonprofits to grow their impact while fulfilling their mission faster.
Community Cohorts
We bring nonprofits together in cohorts and provide multi-year, flexible funding to use as they see fit. Our approach centers community knowledge and supports stronger relationships rooted in shared learning and community-led change.
