Our Mission: Tides Advocacy Fund promotes change toward a healthy and just society, one which is founded on principles of social justice, broadly shared economic opportunity, a robust democratic process and a sustainable environment.

Advocating for change

Tides Advocacy Fund enables progressive donors and activists to impact the legislative arena by providing a legal and fiscal home to those advocating for social change. By facilitating quick mobilization and efficient management, Tides Advocacy Fund empowers its clients to run successful ballot initiative campaigns and legislative endeavors. Tides Advocacy Fund offers the organizational infrastructure and strategic management services to make change happen. It increases your ability to engage in thoughtful advocacy on issues of social justice, environmental sustainability, human rights and much more.

Tides Advocacy Fund (formerly named Tsunami Fund) was established as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization in 1992. Nonprofits classified as 501(c)(4) organizations by the IRS differ from 501(c)(3) nonprofits in that they are permitted to lobby for legislation. Unlike donations to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, donations to a 501(c)(4) organization are not tax deductible.

 Tides Advocacy Fund is a completely separate legal entity from Tides and Tides does not subsidize Tides Advocacy Fund in any way.
