Political strategy
As a team of legal, financial, political, and operational strategists, we live and breathe campaigns. We understand the best way to structure legislative and candidate work, build systems to track and report lobbying, and consider trade-offs for different political structures.
Philanthropic giving
We are both a grantmaker and an incubator, and both a learner and a teacher - we work with funders and donors of all types to support initiatives in the 501(c)(4) space. We support customized giving strategies for advocacy, particularly for communities most impacted by injustice.
Landscape research
We assess what's happening in the field across issue areas and change strategies. We lead evaluation and research efforts to understand how movements achieve policy wins that increase equity and share insights to improve practice and infrastructure for our partners.
I consult donors to help them understand where there are gaps in the field. Together we've seeded and built strong coalitions that have made major policy shifts.
Tides Advocacy works with hundreds of clients and partners representing diverse local and national networks and issue areas. We focus on working with and on behalf of communities most impacted by injustice to align political strategies and investments for policy wins and lasting social change.
