“Are we doing the right things? That's right. That's right. And we want, and so we've hired a team inside Tipping Point, a four-person team that is going to go after the chronic homeless population by some counts, and there's no good count when you send out 700 volunteers to count the homeless, which we did just about a month ago here in the city. It's not the best way to count people, but it's the only way we have, we think they're somewhere between 1,700 and 2,000 chronically homeless people. The definition of that is someone that's been sleeping out on the street for more than a year and has a disabling condition.”

“Well, we try to support people that are on the front lines doing the work. What we've realized is that we can't direct service our way out of the issues of poverty and that we need to leverage city dollars, state dollars, and federal dollars.”

“I had it in high school. I had to go volunteer. So I'm all for that. I think that's the other way to do it is you go through the kids, right? Or you go through. And we're talking about companies that the founders or the CEOs don't get it, right? So if you're going to mandate it, you don't want people begrudgingly. There, you want to incense people to be part of the community, and frankly, there are enough people that care and want to be involved, but they don't always know how to do it. And so Get all those people involved first. I've given up on some people because 11, 12 years and nothing. And guess what? There's not enough time in the day. For our staff, our incredible staff to go out and get to the people that do want to be involved, let alone trying to go after people that.”

“Employees want to work at a company that they feel proud about working for retention is important to all of these companies. If you lose a talented individual to another company for whatever reason, it's expensive to replace that person and to train that person up. So you want morale to be high. You want people to feel good about the job and the company that they're working at. And I think these companies are starting. Hear that, whether it's People with a hammer telling them, or whether it's coming from.”

“It has to come from the top because it's going to come from the bottom. It's going to come from their junior level employees. And so I think it's so incredibly important to build it into the culture from day one, which is what we saw Salesforce do. Or what, you know, I was just at Okta this morning. They're all hands meeting. They have built it in from pre IPO, right? They've put aside shares, they've mandated that employees volunteer. So I think you have, first, you have to educate because not everybody, for me, I grew up in a family that pushed it, right? And I was very fortunate in every regard. But philanthropy is something that is learned. It's not innate. And so first, there's that responsibility. Second, if a CEO doesn't get it, and you and I both know the CEOs that don't get it, you have to explain to them why it's good business.”

“Talk about the tech community because they do get dinged for having these beautiful headquarters in the sky, Twitter, for example, meanwhile down below. Know it's a little like that movie nobody watched called Elysium where the rich people live above, the poor people live below. And there was a lot of pushback on tech people vomiting on buses, stopping, that kind of thing. They don't care. There's all this fighting going on the mission. How do you look at that? I mean, obviously you see it as an opportunity to get involved rather than a flashpoint, which it's become. Why do you think that should always be?”

I get to talk to people in tech that care. There are a lot of people that are getting involved. You know them well. We have Mark Benioff. We have now Mark, Mark Zuckerberg, and Priscilla Chan They really seem to get it. I could talk about a couple of the Twitter founders that have been incredibly supportive. We have more people that care than I think most people realize. Have to do more. They need to do more.”

“We live in an incredible moment in time, and you cover it every day. And tipping point sits right in the middle of this incredible tension between incredible wealth and incredible poverty. We have 600,000 people living below the federal poverty line and 1.3 million people to poor to meet their basic needs. And we need people with means to stand up and to get involved. And we need to tell the stories. And so we are always thinking about how to walk that tightrope because we have to be We have to walk with humility in telling a client story in a set of stuff.

“So we have four issue areas. 45% of our funding goes to our education portfolio, but we believe in diversifying. And so we talk about, we have education, housing. Employment, so job training, and then health. And then our health area, we're going to be focusing on kind of the zero to five range and school preparedness and school readiness. And so in education, we fund charter schools, we fund programs that go into traditional public schools. We fund after school programs, housing, we fund organizations like homeless prenatal program and compass, and we fund Larkin Street that works with foster youth and first place for youth in Oakland. We're all over the Bay Area, so we fund in San Jose and East Bay. We're actually split essentially a third, a third, a third San Francisco, East Bay, and South Bay with a few groups in Moran. Sure.”

We raised $21.9 million, $21.9 million is our grant-making budget for the following year.

“Need a little star power. And not only is he star power, he's compassionate and cares about these issues. And then I found a hedge fungi named Chris James. Chris was a committed Robin Hood supporter. I did not know him when I was at Robin Hood, but people at Robin Hood told me I had to call on him because he was a 20-something hedge fund guy giving a lot of money to a New York City-based organization and he was living here. He had just moved from New York to here. So I sat down with he and his wife and they came on board and then I. Asked a friend Katie Schwab, who was actually working at Robin Hood at the time if she would also come on the founding team. And so the four of us found a tipping point and we launched in June 2005, you know, a couple weeks after Robinson. That's the idea behind it.”

And so we started dating there. But I moved back to San Francisco at the intention of starting tipping point. Went to grad school at Berkeley from 03 to 05. Public policy.
