The Movement Cooperative powers organizing through shared governance, shared investment, and long‑term stewardship of movement tech. “By pooling resources, we make it easier for more organizations to securely maintain their data at a fraction of the cost,” says CEO Julia Barnes.

It takes power, not mere presence, to effect lasting change, says social justice leader @Rashad Robinson. His new book “From Presence to Power” offers essential lessons about power – how to understand it, gain it, and use it for progress.

To turn dreams into reality, young people need space to explore their talents, build community, and discover their voices. Jill Scott knows this personally, and that’s what inspired her to create the Jill Scott Arts and Community Fund.

Real-life experience and shared decision‑making build stronger, more equitable climate solutions. As part of Linguistic Waterways, residents of Bushwick, Brooklyn, are developing climate solutions based on their own lived experiences.

A healthy democracy thrives when every voice feels free to show up, speak up, and be heard. This is the America we strive for, one where everyone has the freedom to shape our future.

Hundreds of anti-LGBTQ+ bills. Rollbacks of federal protections. Coordinated campaigns targeting trans youth, healthcare, and schools. The attacks are relentless, but organizers are fighting back — and winning.

Our commitment to reproductive freedom is unwavering. “On this anniversary of the Dobbs decision, we recognize that true reproductive freedom requires more than legal rights; it demands equitable access, resources, and support for every person," says Tareya Palmer, Just Health Fund, Tides.

At Tides, Donor Advised Fund (DAF) holders aren’t just account numbers. They’re partners in a shared commitment to social justice. Learn more about the Tides difference: www.tides.org/blog/why-val...

The challenges we face demand action. Through Tides’ partnerships with community leaders and funders, we move power, money, and resources to local organizations at the forefront of climate justice, racial equity, reproductive freedom, democracy, and more.

50 years ago, Tides was founded in a moment that rhymes hard with this one. Like now, philanthropy needed to channel resources to the grassroots organizers and emerging movements responding to local issues in real time.

Across Tides, we share a commitment and sense of urgency to address inequities. We know the social sector can do better. We simply must accelerate the pace of change.

Today, let’s honor not only the service members who lost their lives, but also George Floyd, who lost his life to state violence six years ago on this day. While many have wavered, Tides remains committed to the doers in communities across our country and connecting them to power and resources.

You don't need to start a nonprofit to drive change. Partner with others to resource organizations that are already doing important work and need more support. Learn more on our website: www.tides.org/what-we-do/p...

Community voices hold the power to drive meaningful social change. People with firsthand experience of the issues corporate and philanthropic partners want to address have expertise that can help organizations make their investments more effective and reduce risk. www.tides.org/blog/3-steps...

We all deserve a just, equitable future. We understand that the best solutions come from the places and people most impacted by the issue, and Tides shifts resources and power to communities historically denied both.

Not all DAF providers are created equal. Together with our donors, we direct investments toward communities facing systemic barriers—advancing solutions that build a more just and equitable world. www.tides.org/what-we-do/p...
