In deep partnerships with community, CAST invests and stewards affordable housing and workspaces across the San Francisco Bay Area.

Moy brings experience in the philanthropic sector as a grantmaker, consultant, and senior executive in areas as diverse as arts and culture, renewable energy, lesbian and gay rights, immigrant rights, and international human rights. Known for her visionary ability to identify and support progressive ideas, she has also worked as a grantmaker in foundations with assets ranging from $100 million to $9 billion, making $200 million in grants in the US and globally.

In 2019, they released their first recording of originals, The Blue Hour: https://thebluehourproject.com, and performed songs from the album at the September 2022 Monterey Jazz Festival.
