We can handle a wide range of your needs—from managing application and review processes, to conducting due diligence and administering grants, to designing creative and innovative programs.
Since 1976, Tides has been helping individuals and institutions meet their philanthropic goals. In the past five years alone, Tides has granted more than $400 million. Our corporate clients include socially responsible business leaders like Working Assets and Patagonia, well-known brands like Reebok and Liz Claiborne, and emerging social entrepreneurs working in adventure travel, publishing and finance.
If you want to reach out to your local community, across the country or across the globe, Tides Foundation has the expertise. We have crafted and managed grant programs throughout the United States and throughout the world. Tides Foundation is one of the leading international grantmakers in the country, with the experience and commitment to navigate an increasingly complicated regulatory environment.
One of the reasons we have been around for 30 years is because at Tides we keep abreast of new regulations and new technologies. We pioneered the use of donor advised funds for national and international grantmaking and we developed some of the earliest online donation systems in the field.
That is why we have worked with the most established names in philanthropy over the years, developing and administering grant programs. Some of our recent partners include: Ford Foundation, World Health Organization, California Endowment and Open Society Institute.
As the well-worn business axiom goes: focus on your core competency.
