More About Tides Center

For more than twenty-five years, Tides Center has been working with new and emerging charitable organizations who share our mission of striving for positive social change.

Tides Center looks to provide a fiscal home and infrastructure support to charitable initiatives that are not incorporated as a nonprofit organization. As a nonprofit itself, Tides Center is the incorporated structure for Tides projects.

By providing these infrastructure services--such as payroll, insurance, human resources, etc.--Tides Center enables organizations to dedicate the majority of their energy to program work. For start-up or newly established groups this arrangement provides convenience, peace of mind and in most cases a cost savings. It also allows newly formed nonprofits to establish a crucial track record of programmatic activity for funders and the public at large.

History

Tides Center began working with promising charitable initiatives in 1979 as the Projects Program of Tides Foundation. In 1996, this program became Tides Center, an independent nonprofit organization registered with the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) public charity.

In 1999, Tides Center served as the home for approximately 350 projects staffed by nearly 600 employees working in 40 states. Tides Center currently manages $50 million dollars for its projects.

Tides Center is part of the Tides family of organizations--a group of nonprofit organizations linked by a commitment to positive social change, innovation, and environmental sustainability. The Tides family--which includes Tides Center, Tides Foundation, Thoreau Center for Sustainability, and Groundspring.org--collaborate as partners, sharing ideas, technical systems, and an office complex.
