We're excited to welcome our new tenant Magic Cabinet! ✨

Magic Cabinet works to make philanthropy more useful to the people it’s meant to serve: nonprofits and communities. They do this by providing multi-year, flexible funding directly to nonprofits so they can grow on their own terms. 💗

They also help other funders align their resources with what communities actually need, turning what they learn into funding approaches the whole sector can use. Together, this work is moving philanthropy toward approaches that uplift community voice, trusts their leadership, and builds power where it belongs. 🤝🏾

Help us give a warm welcome to Magic Cabinet by connecting with them on their socials.....visiting their site
