Shifting Power. Advancing Social Justice.

Tides is a nonprofit and philanthropic organization dedicated to advancing social justice. Together with our partners, we shift resources and power to communities that have historically been denied both to unlock transformative change.

What We Offer

Our commitment as a nonprofit and philanthropic organization is to connect historically excluded groups with services, capacity building, and resources, amplifying their impact in the fight for justice.

Philanthropy

Through Tides Foundation, we provide donors with grantmaking solutions and connections to communities leading on critical justice issues — transforming our partners’ innovative ideas into meaningful social impact.

Fiscal Sponsorship

Tides Center is more than a fiscal sponsor — we’re a partner to mission-driven individuals and organizations working to advance social justice. Our fiscal sponsorship partnerships provide changemakers with a variety of options to fuel their work, whether they’re fundraising for a specific initiative or relying on our full infrastructure to run their organization.

Community Stories

Celebrate the ingenuity and tenacity of the bold visionaries working with Tides to foster change.

  • Tides partnered with the Green New Deal Network — a coalition of environmental and climate justice organizations — to oversee grantmaking administration and due diligence as they push for policy solutions to address the climate crisis. Since 2019, the Green New Deal Network has sparked the passage of a federal commitment and three major federal investment packages totaling nearly $3.5 trillion to push for environmental and climate justice.
