We make it easy and rewarding for Silicon Valley philanthropists to give locally, by connecting them with high-impact nonprofits addressing causes close to their hearts and meeting local needs.

The tools you need.

Search & Discovery Tools

Magnify Community developed and tested tools for donors to search for and discover pre-vetted local nonprofits during our most recent innovation cycle. While we did not update those tools in our current innovation cycle, our Nonprofit Search tool and Bigger Bets portfolio remain accessible for learning purposes.

Magnify Community Donor Briefing
A Community of Donors

Through virtual learning opportunities and access to a network of peers and partner organizations, we help Silicon Valley philanthropists connect with others to share ideas and resources.

Responding to questions we're hearing.

I know what issues I care about, but there are so many local nonprofits. How can I tell which are really making a difference?

Would my money be better spent internationally, where need seems so much greater than here?

I like to support leaders with innovative ideas. How do I find local nonprofits with visionary leadership?

I’m an entrepreneur who believes in scaling solutions. Can funding local efforts result in big changes?

I live in Silicon Valley but I’m not from here, so why should I donate my money here?
