An invitational forum where some of the most creative minds in the progressive movement come together to challenge, inspire and energize each other.

At Momentum 2008 you will:

Engage with cutting edge ideas, innovative strategies and unexpected experiences

Engage in one-on-one discussions with leaders whose diverse experiences inform their work for social change

Engage in a community grappling with the hard issues of making change and creating the space to imagine what's possible

Leaders in the progressive community rarely have the chance to explore things in which they are not immersed, nor do they often have a chance to see challenges outside their own “issue silo”. In the complex world where we are pushing for more enlightened policies, exposure to a broad set of approaches and perspectives strengthens us all.

For over thirty years, Tides has provided a constellation of services to support progressive social change. As a convener and connector of people, ideas and resources Tides manages grantmaking for more than 400 individual and institutional donors, provides sophisticated financial and management tools to more than 200 nonprofit projects and activities and supports the development of green nonprofit centers nationwide.
