The association brings nonprofits together to discuss and debate issues, to think through the implications of government and philanthropic actions, and to build networks that support nonprofit organizations and the communities they serve. CalNonprofits also publishes research, analysis, news and opinion through its website, print newsletter, and e-newsletter.

MISSION
Cancer CAREpoint is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of Bay Area residents impacted by cancer by providing compassionate, personalized support services and programs tailored to meet individual needs.
In 2009, Samaritan Medical Center CEO Dave Henderson decided it was time to figure out how to “raise the bar on cancer care” in Silicon Valley. Toward this end, he engaged the assistance of community leader Gay Crawford, a longtime advocate for cancer patients, along with former Good Samaritan Hospital CEO Bill Piché and oncologist James Cohen, MD. Together, they discussed the lack of easily accessible, independent, non-medical support services for cancer patients and their families and caregivers.
Over the next two years more members of the community became involved in the process. More than 200 past and current cancer patients, caregivers, healthcare providers and representatives of local nonprofit agencies all came together to talk about their experiences with cancer and its aftermath. They described how it changed their lives, how it affected their families, and how what they’d learned could help others touched by cancer. As a result of these insights, Cancer CAREpoint was born and given the direction to fill the gap in psycho-social support services in Silicon Valley.

By November 2011, individuals, foundations and local corporations had invested in the vision of Cancer CAREpoint’s founders and donated $1 million. This funded the piloting of programs and services that had been ranked high by focus group participants. In early 2012, Cancer CAREpoint launched its Resource Center, offering its free personalized, one-on-one services—Counseling, Assistance, Resources and Education. An expanded Resource Center—with almost triple the space of the first suite—opened in 2013.
Around 10,000 people in Silicon Valley are diagnosed with cancer each year, and thousands more are living as cancer survivors. Because of this, there will always be individuals and families who need emotional, practical, and psychological support to get through one of the most difficult experiences of their lives. Cancer CAREpoint is dedicated to ensuring that no one should have to face cancer alone.





Our vision is to enhance San José’s and Santa Clara County’s regional and global recognition, ensuring the rich, diverse history of San José is accessible and engaging for all. Locally, we strive to be a key engine in building a more connected, active, and vibrant community where everyone feels like a part of the ongoing story of San José and Santa Clara County. Our mission is achieved by focusing on three main categories:
Preservation
HSJ preserves the Valley’s material culture, engaging the community in research to share with a world-wide audience. Through physical and virtual exhibits, and our extensive archive and artifact collection, we offer resources and assistance to anyone wishing to explore the Valley’s history. Restoration and preservation of historical buildings is also a continuing focus, as we have 30+ buildings at History Park and two landmark buildings at San Pedro Square.

Education
We serve more than 12,000 students annually in and around the Valley. HSJ offers theme-based school programs highlighting local history. Programs are tailored in complexity by age range and are closely linked with core standards for grades K-12. Our programs are fun and experientially unique, as they are hosted across our various historical sites as well as our Collection Center.
Community Events
Our events focus on programming that results in active inter-generational engagement, celebration, and learning through a combination of crafts, storytelling, cultural performances and family-friendly, inquiry-based tours and experiences.
Recent studies have shown that two-thirds of parents feel overwhelmed by their children’s tech-centered lives, while nearly half of all teens believe they spend too much time online and that social media harms people their age. Unfortunately, they’re both right to be concerned.
Teens spending more than three hours a day on social media have double the risk for mental health problems like depression and anxiety than those who don’t. And when asked about the impact of social media on their body image, 46% of adolescents ages 13 to 17 said social media makes them feel worse.
Ready Set Screen puts two decades of experience in media literacy and teen education to work in combating these trends, with a clear focus on ending the ongoing teen mental health crisis and preventing the next one.


LBFE's programs invite people from all generations and different walks of life to create reciprocal and meaningful relationships that provide valuable social interaction to older persons living in San Francisco. LBFE programs are designed specifically for interpersonal connectivity with a focus on building trust, friendship, and community.
LBFE older adults are oftentimes homebound or physically isolated in addition to being socially isolated, therefore we aim to bring one-on-one, small group interaction to them through home visiting volunteers.
Our more mobile older adults are offered the opportunity to socialize outside of their homes through our social gathering and special outing events. LBFE is committed to building community with our elders and volunteers so that they can create strong relationships and feel a part of the city they call home. To learn more:
