(Daily Caller)—A major left-of-center nonprofit is providing support to several groups that have justified Hamas’ attacks on Israeli civilians or accused Israel of genocide.
The Tides Center provides fiscal sponsorship to several groups expressing support for Palestinian terrorists and accusing Israel of human rights abuses. Several groups supported by Tides praised Hamas, saying they “breached the apartheid wall that has imprisoned them for over 16 years, separating them from their land, their loved ones, their holy sites” and have organized protests over the genocide they claim the Israeli government is carrying out.
Fiscal sponsorship is “a process in which a sponsor organization is paid to act as an umbrella under which new center-left political groups may fundraise and operate prior to achieving recognition of tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), at which point they’re often spun off into standalone nonprofits,” according to Influence Watch.
Tides maintains a list of its fiscally sponsored projects on its website, which includes the Adalah Justice Project. That organization posted an image to its Instagram page on the day of Hamas’ terrorist attacks featuring a bulldozer tearing down a section of Israel’s border fence.
“Israeli colonizers believed they could indefinitely trap two million people in an open-air prison … no cage goes unchallenged,” the caption on the image read.
Hamas militants killed more than 1,200 civilians, kidnapped children and destroyed entire towns in Israel. Members of Hamas raped women next to the bodies of their dead friends during a massacre at music festival near the Israeli-Gazan border, according to an eye witness interviewed by Tablet Magazine.
“The natural reaction to colonization and oppression is resistance,” another section of the caption read.
“We can not expect Palestinians to passively accept ethnic cleansing, indefinite imprisonment without charges, a 17-year siege, ongoing and endless military occupation, and the deep segregation and indignity of apartheid,” an Oct. 8 post from Adalah reads.
“The natural consequence to colonization and oppression is resistance,” the post continued.
The organization also retweeted a news article calling Hamas terrorists “freedom fighters” and released a statement asserting that “history will eventually write that Palestinians taught the world how to survive.”
Palestine Legal, another fiscally sponsored project of the Tides Center, released a statement on Oct. 10 calling the Hamas terrorist attacks “one of the most significant acts of Palestinian resistance to Israel’s nearly eight decade long settler colonial project in Palestine.” The group goes on in its statement to accuse Israel of genocide and cites an Israeli-designate terror organization to argue that Israel is engaged in a “relentless attack by air, sea, and land against the civilian population in Gaza.”
“There is no equivalence—moral or otherwise—between Israel’s nearly eight decades of ceaseless colonial violence, and the resistance that it has engendered,” Palestine Legal’s statement continued.
The Arab Resource and Organizing Center, also one of the Tides Center’s fiscally sponsored projects, issued a statement saying it “holds the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence we’ve witnessed across historic Palestine.”
“In the face of such violence we recommit ourselves to the struggle for freedom and justice in Palestine, in our region, and globally,” the group stated in response to Hamas’ terrorist attacks.
The Catalyst Project is an anti-racism initiative that is a fiscally sponsored project of the Tides Center.
“An historic act of resistance happened in Palestine last Saturday, as Palestinians in Gaza breached the apartheid wall that has imprisoned them for over 16 years, separating them from their land, their loved ones, their holy sites,” the group said in response to Hamas’ terrorist attacks.
The Catalyst Project accuses Israel of genocide numerous times across its social media.
Tides’ involvement in the anti-Israel movement extends beyond its fiscal sponsorship activities.
The Trans Justice Funding Project, which Tides lists as one of its grantmaking partners, accused Israel of genocide. The Tides Foundation also appears to process donations for Black Lives Matter Grassroots, an organization that said Hamas’ terrorist attacks “must not be condemned, but understood as a desperate act of self-defense.”
Grantmaking partners are “individuals and institutions with grantmaking funds at Tides,” according to the organization’s website.
The Tides Foundation and Tides Center are both part of the Tides umbrella, which is made up of “five separate legal entities,” according to Tides’ website. The Foundation distributes grants while the Center “primarily offers fiscal sponsorship and nonprofit acceleration services.”
The Tides Foundation has dolled out hundreds of thousands of dollars to organizations pushing the narrative that Israel’s defensive operations constitute a genocide.
IfNotNow, a group that seeks to “confront the U.S. government’s role in upholding apartheid” in Israel, received $45,000 from the Tides Foundation during the 2021 fiscal year. IfNotNow organized pro-Palestine protests following Hamas’ attack on Israel.
Forty-nine people were arrested on Oct. 16 for unlawfully entering the White House compound and blocking entrances at a protest organized by IfNotNow, according to Axios. More than 300 people were arrested on Oct.18 for protesting inside the Cannon House Office Building at the Capitol during a demonstration organized by IfNotNow.
In the 2021 fiscal year alone the Tides Foundation gave $250,000 to Showing Up for Racial Justice, $10,000 to the Abolitionist Law Center, $75,000 to Women’s International League for Peace And Freedom, $30,000 to CAIR Arizona, $200,000 to the Muslim Public Affairs Council Foundation and $100,000 to the Center for Third World Organizing, according to tax forms. All six groups accused Israel of genocide or ethnic cleansing.
“We stand by our statements,” the Muslim Public Affairs Council’s chief of staff told the DCNF.
The Center For Constitutional Rights, which received $28,000 from Tides, released a statement saying that it “stands in solidarity with the Palestinian people in their decades-long struggle for self-determination and freedom from Israel’s regime of apartheid and prolonged belligerent military occupation” on the day Hamas attacked Israel.
“Israeli colonization of historic Palestine gives rise to the international legal right of colonized people to resist colonial domination and to pursue national liberation and self-determination,” their statement continued.
“Under international law, armed groups, such as Palestinian resistance fighters, can lawfully carry out attacks on military targets.”
An Oct. 20 Pro-Palestine protest in Washington, D.C., was organized by a coalition of 16 groups, seven of which were either fiscally sponsored projects of the Tides or received funding from the Tides Foundation. Groups tied to Tides boost each other’s content on social media.
Every group mentioned above, including Tides, did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
