Tioga Fund is a politically oriented funder that concentrates its giving on advocacy and democracy-focused organizations, with a particular emphasis on supporting women's economic and political equality. Most dollars go to national advocacy vehicles and fiscal sponsors that run campaigns, research, and policy work rather than direct service providers. Their grants suggest a preference for programmatic democracy/advocacy interventions and infrastructure that can deploy funds quickly into political and public‑policy efforts.
