Company Description

Beyond Impact (formerly Tides Advocacy) supports fearless leaders and organizations to build power and advance progressive policies that center equity and justice in our democracy and daily lives. Founded in 1992 as a California-based 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, we leverage transformational fiscal sponsorship, impactful grantmaking, and strategic convening to strengthen organizations advancing racial and social justice, human rights, environmental protection, and systemic transformation.

Our fiscally sponsored partners include projects, funds, and collaboratives led by Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), other historically marginalized people, and allies, with a deliberate focus on social welfare and advocacy in Black communities as a strategy to strengthen multi-racial democracy and challenge systemic inequities. Our partners work across program focus areas including voting rights and democracy, climate and environmental justice, economic justice, health equity, civic engagement, and community-led policy innovation, leveraging Beyond Impact’s support to organize communities, build political power, and advance meaningful policy change. Guided by our core values—Joy, Equity, Integrity, Sustainability, and Solidarity—we give our partners the space to pursue bold, transformative work.

Beyond Impact has grown substantially in recent years, managing a dynamic network of approximately 85 fiscally sponsored partners. Our collective workforce includes around 150 employees, supported by a home office team of 33 staff, alongside consultants, outside counsel, and temporary personnel. In FY 2024, Beyond Impact’s consolidated revenues were approximately $93 million, with home office operating expenses of approximately $8.5 million.
