Last year, the inaugural TIDAL X benefit concert raised more than $1.5m which was allocated in grants to a select list of organizations promoting social and racial justice.
Thanks to the festival’s underwriting sponsors, including JETLUX and AMERICAN FAMILY INSURANCE, 100% of all ticket sales will benefit ROBIN HOOD and TIDAL-supported nonprofit organizations dedicated to improving education locally, nationally and abroad.

From charity concerts to social justice immersions, TIDAL helps artists shed a light on organizations and movements that matter to them most, as well as help fundraise.
