Tides Foundation
The Tides Foundation was founded in 1976 by Drummond Pike to work with “community-based nonprofit organizations and the progressive movement through innovative grantmaking.” Its lobbying is often taxpayer-funded, as it uses grants from public and private sources to fund progressive charities and organizations.[1]
International Corporate Accountability Roundtable is a project of the Tides Foundation.
Mission
The Tides Foundation works with donors to increase and organize resources to incite "social change." It runs grant programs and promotes education.
Method

It is a public charity that structures individual philanthropies, linking them to a national and international network of like progressive charities and activist organizations.[1]
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan is a source for the Tides Foundation.[2]
