For foundations looking to extend their reach, either into a new geographic area or a new issue area, our in-depth knowledge and insights of both the philanthropic community and the grantee universe will provide you with the resources you need to build an effective, tailored grantmaking strategy.

Think of us as an extension of your program staff, and as a link to a national network of expert advisors on environmental and social justice issues.

Our dedicated staff and board brings many decades of combined experience in seeking out and supporting leaders and innovators in the charitable sector to its work with other like-minded individual and institutional donors.

We can work with you to strengthen your grantmaking strategy by helping to:

• Identify and assess potential grantees and conduct site visits
• Make grant recommendations and prepare dockets
• Monitor and evaluate grantmaking programs
• Manage ongoing communication with applicants and grantees
• Develop grant guidelines
• Provide donor education opportunities

Tides Canada may also be able to advise you on strategic partnerships with other like-minded donors that will further the impact of your grantmaking programs.

As every family and every private foundation has unique needs and interests, Tides Canada meets with families or staff members to determine fees on a contractual basis.
