Magic Cabinet, an organization that partners with nonprofits and philanthropists to achieve community-led impact, appointed Karen Toering as director of advocacy. Shifting from her role as Seattle program director, Toering will work closely with the Magic Cabinet leadership team, setting the intention to use its positional power and resources to strengthen advocacy within the sector and with non-profit partners and philanthropic partner networks. Toering is a long-time community organizer and nonprofit leader in the Seattle area. As the director of Magic Cabinet's Advocacy program, Toering will steward efforts in building relationships to alter existing philanthropic systems and promote a new status quo for community leaders. Magic Cabinet provides funding and access to a peer network to small- and medium-sized nonprofits in Puget Sound and the San Francisco Bay Areas. The foundation's participatory approach invests in nonprofit cohorts with a common geography and mutually supporting missions. Magic Cabinet's approach brings together four elements of community-centered philanthropy: trust-based philanthropy, participatory decision-making, capacity building and long-term investment.
