In the Bay Area, 1.1 million people don’t have the resources they need to meet their basic needs. Since 2005, Tipping Point has invested nearly $300 million for housing, early childhood, education, and employment solutions in the region. Our board covers 100% of our operating costs, so every dollar donated goes where it’s needed most. Last year, our grantees provided life-changing services to more than 500,000 of our neighbors across the Bay Area.

Sheds, workshops, backyard studios, accessory dwelling units, pergolas, pavilions and playsets are our specialties. We also put customers first. That means constantly innovating the design of our products and adhering to the highest quality standard. And it means giving excellent customer service at every phase from purchase to home installation. Nothing short of huge smiles will do.
