"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."

Is your charity considering an endowment for long-term funding stability, but lacks the in-house expertise to manage it?

Would you prefer to focus your staff's time and attention on your charity's mission, and have the acceptance of more complex gifts outsourced?

Do you have donors in the US who wish to receive tax benefits for their gifts to you?

TIDES CANADA CAN HELP.

We offer a wide range of flexible support services and strategic counsel to Canadian and US charities including:

Ethically Managed Endowment Funds

Many charitable organizations have reached a level of maturity where they are considering an endowment fund to provide sustainable long-term support for their mission.

Instead of the cost and time involved to create a foundation or other special endowment housing facility, your charity can establish its endowment at Tides Canada.

This removes the complication of developing in-house investment expertise and ensures that your resources are managed using socially responsible investment principles.
