Power to
Open Doors

In a year when the basic freedoms of many communities were under fire, Tides unveiled new grantmaking principles and practices that center the lived experience, views, and voices of communities directly affected by injustice and inequity. It’s through our grantmaking and partnerships that we aim to dismantle antiquated, harmful paradigms within philanthropy, ensuring our doer partners have the control they need to advance their missions and serve their communities.   

Throughout 2024, we prioritized grantee-led funding strategies that deepened our support of girls and young women, immigrants, and other historically excluded communities. We also marked the first year of the Immigrants Belong Fund, a powerful vehicle for resourcing pro-immigrant storytelling. The programs we supported through our Tides-led initiatives continued to disrupt unjust systems in pursuit of a more inclusive society.
