Correction, they are two funding sources among many who fund a foundation system that provides grants to a lot of different organizations. Among whom, two are astroturfing the protests.

So, Tides Center, one of the branches of the Tides organization had a two page Schedule F in 2022 (foreign grant recipients) and a 55 page Schedule I (domestic recipients). Tides Foundation has a 96 page Schedule F and a 277 page Schedule I. Each of those pages has 9 lines on them which each represents a separate grant recipient. When it comes to the non-profit/grants/community organizing realm I can tell you that Tides and their leadership, let alone their donors, do not care all that much about a single grant recipient or have any influence on them other than what the grant contract says. S mean, we are looking at over 3,800 separate grant recipients.

Call the organizations astroturf all you want to, but tying it back to a third party donor to a foundation the size of Tides that has that many grant recipients is just falling prey to inflammatory media headlines.
