Solano #1 Cohort, CA
Together for 4 years
This Cohort lasts four years so relationships can strengthen, processes can develop, and internal structures can be built. Together, A Place-2-Live, Rio Vista CARE, and Solano Advocates for Victims of Violence meet quarterly to present grant proposals to each other, vote on new grants, share progress updates, and seek advice on new challenges as they build capacity and grow.
The mission of A Place-2-Live is to provide residential placement services for low to moderate-income families and life skills training, helping our clients become self-sufficient over time.
Founded 2004
The mission of Rio Vista CARE is to provide low-cost, professional counseling and family resource to better the lives of the citizens of Rio Vista as well as the surrounding area.

The mission of Solano Advocates for Victims of Violence is to lessen the impact of violence by offering interventions that empower a victim’s transformation into a survivor by inspiring hope, growth, and resiliency.

Magic Cabinet prioritizes community-born, led, and serving organizations to build their capacity and accelerate their impact. We believe if given the time, tools, and resources they ask for, the organizations and the communities they serve will flourish.
Following our Community Input phase, our team dives back into research to connect with nonprofits and select organizations to fund. Our approach focuses on building more open and trusting relationships with communities.
The power of capacity-building investments can’t be understated. See how one of our nonprofit partners incorporated sabbaticals as an investment in their team and community.
Community voices shape every aspect of our work, starting with our engagement process. By prioritizing conversations with community leaders and grassroots organizations, we’re able to identify areas where our grants can make the most impact.
