Tides Foundation
A social justice intermediary that both moves grant money outward and shelters young organizations under its own roof, turning private philanthropy into shared infrastructure for causes it hosts but does not itself lead.

Their shape
The Movement
Gathered around a cause, and built to move.
The Movement is mission-led and built to mobilize, organized around changing something in the world. Its gift is passion and external impact, its challenge is turning momentum into something that lasts.
Also reads toward The Citadel and The Frontier.
