"When I launched the Stephen Lewis Foundation, I was completely at a loss when it came to most of the administrative, financial and even legal details.
Tides Canada created a home for us in our start-up, and held the hands of our staff as we collectively put an entire apparatus in place.
They still perform an indispensable range of functions for us.
The advice they offer is utterly reliable; the knowledge they share is encyclopedic, the principles driving them are rooted in the quest for social justice.
I wouldn't lay down my life for Tides Canada, but I'd surely surrender my reputation."
Stephen Lewis Director, Stephen Lewis Foundation
"Tides Canada fills an important gap by helping donors identify and support top-notch organizations pursuing creative solutions to social and environmental problems. By fostering the growth of social entrepreneurship, facilitating the exchange of social change models, and promoting a regulatory framework that embraces innovation, Tides Canada is strengthening Canada's citizen sector."
David Bornstein Author, How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs and The Power of New Ideas
"To me, Tides Canada represents cutting edge, innovative philanthropy, particularly
in the areas of social change and environmental stewardship.
Their support, professionalism and openness have been a great benefit to us."
