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

Whether donors are making modest or large philanthropic investments, creating a giving plan that truly reflects personal values and priorities is one of the most fulfilling and effective things a donor can to increase their positive impact.

Tides Canada can work with your clients to craft personalized giving plans with a strong focus on investing in lasting change.

Our day-to-day business is helping donors 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 a 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 a donor wants to be with your giving, and how much they 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 customized counsel that donors can draw upon to:

• deepen their understanding of the issues they care about
• increase their exposure to potential charitable investment opportunities
• sharpen their giving strategy and increase its impact
• evaluate the impact of their grantmaking
• explore connections with other donors to leverage resources for change
• consider succession planning to involve family members in their 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, organizational 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 nearly 80,000 Canadian charities.
