Tides Center

The Tides Center primarily supports non-profit organizations and initiatives focused on progressive social change, often acting as a fiscal sponsor for a wide array of projects. Their work spans national and international scopes, with a strong emphasis on equity, environmental justice, and democratic participation. While specific donor-advised funds under Tides may have unique geographic or thematic restrictions, the Center broadly seeks to empower grassroots movements and innovative solutions, with a consistent focus on systemic change.

The Tides Center typically operates through a combination of invited proposals and its well-known fiscal sponsorship model. While some unsolicited proposals may be considered, a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) or established relationship is often a prerequisite for a full application.
