What We Do
We work through diaspora nodes, networks, and narratives
Each one moves recognition, resources, and opportunity toward the diaspora leaders building the field.
01
Diaspora Nodes
The key hubs and points of center where communities gather, organize, and build together.
The TDA Foundation works in key cities with vibrant diaspora hubs, identifying the points of center that hold communities together. We support those hubs directly and invest in the organizing, gathering, and building that happens there.
02
Diaspora Networks
The ecosystems and partnerships that connect communities to each other across cities and across borders.
The TDA Foundation connects diaspora communities into ecosystems and partnerships that shape real outcomes across cities and across borders. Our DiasporaSearch platform is your connector, one place where organizations find each other and allies find the organizations they want to back.
03
Diaspora Narratives
The ability for communities to tell their own story, in their own words, on their own terms.
The TDA Foundation trains and facilitates, with customized workshops, convenings, and peer learning that build the capacity to advocate, participate in civic life, and tell underrepresented stories. We support the small businesses and diaspora creative spaces that carry culture forward, so representation reaches the rooms where decisions get made.
