For Grantseekers
Tides is a public charity offering individuals and institutions a vehicle for their philanthropy. Unlike many other foundations, Tides does not have discretionary grantmaking funds and has no open proposal submission process. Rather, we partner with individual and institutional donors who have donor advised funds at Tides and direct their own grantmaking. Most of the funds at Tides do not accept unsolicited proposals. Those funds with open solicitation processes are listed below under the Open Request for Proposals (Open RFPs) tab.

Eligible organizations must be California-based 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4) or fiscally sponsored organizations with budgets under $100,000.
