01 What We Do
Visibility
Diaspora organizations gain a record of their work that communities trust and partners rely on.
What changes
Recognition that travels as far as the work
Your organization runs programs every week and holds the trust of thousands. The TDA Foundation puts that work on the map, verified and current, so communities find you and allies reach you. Decades of effort stop going unseen.
What we do
We build the record and strengthen the voice behind it
We map the communities. Community by community, the TDA Foundation identifies diaspora organizations and verifies each one to a standard partners trust. That record lives on DiasporaSearch.
We strengthen how organizations speak for themselves. Open convenings, peer learning across communities, and published guidance help you sharpen how you describe your work and speak with authority in the rooms where people make decisions.
We keep the record current. Communities grow, organizations change, and leadership turns over. The map keeps pace, so what people find reflects what is actually there.
