What are the eligibility requirements to open a fund at Tides Foundation?

There are two primary eligibility requirements to open a fund at Tides Foundation: mission alignment and confirmed funding. 

Mission Alignment
All funds and their grantmaking purposes must be aligned with our  vision and mission. 

Confirmed Funding
You must have a minimum of $100,000 of committed funding for US-based activity or $50,000 in support of a single domestic project or organization. 

Tides Foundation reviews applications as they are received and retains full discretion to accept or reject an application for any reason. Among additional factors, applications may be accepted or rejected based on our organizational capacity to manage the fund, strength of mission alignment, and applicable legal requirements.
