Tides Foundation is a left-leaning donor advised fund based in the United States that manages over $1.4 billion in assets.[4] It was founded in San Francisco in 1976 by Drummond Pike. Tides distributes money from anonymous donors to other organizations, which are often politically progressive.[5] An affiliated group, Tides Advocacy, is a "massive progressive incubator."[6] Tides has received substantial funding from George Soros.[7]
