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 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.
Philanthropic Solutions
We partner with funders to design giving strategies rooted in community priorities and backed by more than 15 years of experience. Whether you’re new to philanthropy or refining your approach, we’re here to support your giving goals.
