Prevailing Tides?

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says the “Tides Center does routine business for nonprofits” like taking care of distracting day-to-day operations. But Tides, which has just opened a Pittsburgh branch, its third center in the U.S., does more than that: “The center provides, on a fee-for-service basis, fiscal sponsorship and co-management services to nonprofits promoting social change.”



To Tides, that means promoting anti-consumer organizations — and providing cover for fringe organizations that could not hope to gain tax-exempt status from the IRS if not for the Tides connection. The Tides Center runs the Tides Foundation, through which funds are dispersed to many of the usual suspects: The Center for Food Safety, EarthSave International, Greenpeace USA, the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Northern Plains Resource Council, and the Ruckus Society.
