(Wade Rathke was forced to resign in 2010 for a money scandal)

Actual: Command center of the most potent left wing money machine in the world. No officer receives compensation from Tides Network, but they are compensated by other Tides entities controlled by Tides Network. Tides Network is a non-profit holding company, a shell for other organizations, so it has virtually no funding itself - even though it controls one of the largest financial networks of left wing activists.

Note: Wade Rathke, resigned in 2010, is shown only because later official Tides Network documents are not yet available.

For affiliations of all Tides board members, see this Tides List of Affiliations (PDF). 

Harding Rock Fund through the Ohrbach Foundation are "Tides supporting funds." which give all or a major portion of their assets or grants for the direct benefit of Tides organizations. One or more officers or directors of a Tides organization are also officers or directors of these supporting funds.
