Philanthropists working for positive social change in today's globalized world understand the importance of supporting not only effective groups in the U.S., but also organizations doing essential, strategic work abroad. But sometimes the barriers and obstacles involved in funding non-U.S. organizations can seem insurmountable.

Tides Foundation, a leader in progressive philanthropy since 1976, offers a range of services that simplify and streamline international giving. Since 2000, Tides has facilitated and managed more than $80 million in international grants to over 80 countries, all with an impeccable record of compliance. Tides values the inherent global connections across issues and movements, and works to support donors to make international grants in a number of different ways:

  • By making it possible—even easy—for individuals and institutions alike to make grants to non-U.S. organizations through a range of vehicles including Donor Advised Funds and Global Support Funds.
  • By helping donors navigate the complex regulatory landscape for international giving.
  • By providing opportunities for both individual and collaborative global giving, such as our HIV Collaborative Fund.
  • By producing Global/Change, a giving guide designed to give donors ideas and tools for how to support global activism.

Tides Foundation approaches all grantmaking with rigorous attention to all guidelines and regulations.
