Healthy Democracy Action Fund (HDAF) 

Tides Advocacy’s Healthy Democracy Action Fund (HDAF) is an initiative committed to fundamentally changing the balance of power in U.S. politics by building the influence of historically marginalized and underrepresented communities, with a focus on mobilizing for elections, shaping the public agenda, and demanding policy change.

HDAF Political Movement Infrastructure Project

A strong, permanent political infrastructure is core to navigating complexity and building community power for the long-term. That greater community influence in politics and policymaking can lead to justice.

We are excited to liberate more political dollars into the field. In this moment, it is important for all donors and funders to consider how we may move 501c4 dollars as communities are battling for their lives at every front.
