Being an engaged and effective philanthropist takes passion, commitment, focus, and vision.

Whether you are making modest or large philanthropic investments, creating a giving plan that truly reflects your personal values and priorities is one of the most fulfilling and effective things you can do to increase the positive impact you have on issues you care about.

Tides Canada can work with you to craft a personalized giving plan with a strong focus on investing in lasting change.

Our day-to-day business is helping donors like you with specific charitable giving needs. But our greater purpose is to grow and support a community of donors who focus on change, donors who seek out and support initiatives that promote systemic, long-term solutions by addressing the root causes of social ills or environmental problems - not just the symptoms.

Creating your giving plan

There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all service for donors who are interested in developing a personally fulfilling and effective giving plan. Every individual, family, and organization has unique interests, concerns, goals, and needs.

Deciding how directly engaged you want to be with your giving, and how much you prefer to delegate to an organization like Tides Canada, is a balance that is important to strike.

Tides Canada's staff and national network of expert advisors are available to provide you with customized counsel that you can draw upon to:

• deepen your understanding of the issues you care about
• increase your exposure to potential charitable investment opportunities
• sharpen your giving strategy and increase its impact
• evaluate the impact of your grantmaking
• make site visits to see your charitable dollars at work
• explore connections with other donors to leverage resources for change
• consider succession planning to involve family members in your giving strategy over time.

Our Team - A wealth of experience, a rich source of ideas.

Tides Canada brings a powerful combination of staff, board members, and a national network of expert advisors to our strategic counsel work with donors.

Our team combines a wealth of expertise in the environmental and social justice sectors, non-profit management, financial innovation, and strategic giving.

When we work with donors on a customized giving strategy, we draw on our network for the best information on innovative environmental and social justice initiatives in Canada.

They help to keep our knowledgeable staff up to date on the latest developments so that we can pass that information on to donors navigating the sometimes daunting territory of the nearly 80,000 Canadian charities.
