Tides' comprehensive and scalable solutions shift power to communities that have been historically denied it.
We take an integrated approach that can expand and adapt as your equity-rooted work evolves.
Management services are our bedrock. We take care of complex infrastructure needs, so you don’t have to. From there, we build consulting and collaborative solutions that help our partners realize mission-aligned philanthropic and changemaking goals.
Core Fund Management
All donor advised funds at Tides include core fund management from a designated Tides advisor. Each advisor takes a hands-on approach to ethical grantmaking by recommending high-impact funding opportunities; tracking money in and out; and ensuring governance and compliance.
Customized Services
Tides advisors can amplify the donor’s priorities through customized support that facilitates the fund’s work. We offer programmatic expertise, personalized grantmaking guidance, and serve as strategic thought partners on the tools and initiatives donors can use to strengthen the power of proximate leaders.
Collaborative Partnerships
In our most integrated client relationships, Tides takes on a co-development role, consulting on high-level issues like program design and management, and multi-stakeholder agreements. Often, we’ll hire staff funded through the partnership to take on a dedicated role to support the work. Always, we’ll be a deeply committed partner, sharing our knowledge and extensive toolkit to ensure your success.
Our Integrated Solutions
We’ve managed more than $4 billion in grantmaking activity around the world on behalf of our partners, building our expertise with each one.
