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.

The tools you need.


We leverage our networks and local knowledge to provide donors with giving recommendations, and referrals to allies and experts that can help guide their local giving.

We gather insights on organizations addressing critical challenges that can use significant investment to scale, address systemic issues, and create big, bold change. Read our latest issue brief on Housing Justice in Silicon Valley.
We also offer pre-vetted portfolios of high-impact organizations, curated by leading experts, like the Silicon Valley Give Lists and the Civic Participation Giving Guide.

Magnify Community developed and tested tools for donors to search for and discover pre-vetted local nonprofits during our first 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.

Our Local Needs series elevates timely community needs and giving opportunities to make an immediate impact. Recent pieces include a focus on education equity and childcare.

We spotlight effective community leaders and highlight key issues and trends in philanthropy through our Leader Voices series. Sign up for our newsletter to see these features and more.
