Tides Canada's management of our two funds helps us support long-term community projects and international charities while encouraging our adventurous clients to join us.

Their wealth of knowledge and expertise enables us to turn our philanthropic vision into a reality.

International Giving

Very few social or environmental problems confine themselves to regional or even national boundaries.

Nor do the markets, concerns and commitments of many business donors.

Through our relationship with Tides Foundation in the US, Tides Canada can help you make donations and recommend grants on either side of the 49th parallel and beyond, making it easy and tax-efficient for your business to support change in all the places your staff and customers care about.

Professional Giving Services

Establishing a Charitable Giving Fund at Tides Canada provides your business with many of the advantages of a private foundation without the associated tax burdens or administrative and reporting responsibilities.

While you remain advisor to your fund, recommending grants to be made from it, we make the process easy and efficient by taking care of the details.

Tides Canada may also be able to facilitate employee donation programs for your company.

Socially Responsible Fund Management

At Tides Canada, all endowed funds are invested in businesses and institutions whose policies and practices are as consistent as possible with our mission to support environmental and social change.

Doing this means that we are making solid financial investments while also being part of a movement steering publicly-traded businesses towards greater social and environmental responsibility.

The basic tenets of our mission-based investing include screening, shareholder advocacy, economically targeted investments and social venture capital. To learn more, download our Investment Policies (PDF, 168kb).
