Community and partnership are at the heart of our work.

That's why for our 10th annual Executive Summit last week, we brought our grantee leaders together for a special two-day experience to step back, recharge, and connect with one another.

So grateful to all of our leaders for showing up with openness, honesty, and a genuine eagerness to learn from each other. We're proud to be in partnership with you.

💡 Workforce training programs are an effective pathway to quality, career-oriented jobs. However, many low-income workers can't afford the true cost of participating, which includes expenses such as childcare, transportation, and lost income.

Tipping Point's Opportunity Fund, launched in partnership with grantees JVS, JobTrain, Opportunity Junction, and Rising Sun Center for Opportunity, is working to solve that. This new program will support 300 low-income workers to enroll in earn-and-learn programs in promising fields like healthcare and construction + provide flexible financial support and coaching to help cover the true cost of participation.

We're so grateful to Talia for all her work spearheading Tipping Point's employment strategy, and to Alec for the integral role he's played in shaping Tipping Point into the organization it is today.
