Do the Most with Your Money,
Your Ideas, and Your Ideals
With a charitable giving fund at Tides Canada, your vision for a more sustainable and just world can become a reality. This is a much easier and more cost-effective alternative to creating your own foundation or charity in Canada. We handle the paperwork and administration, and provide the due diligence so you can focus on making change.
Your fund can be annual, long-term, collective giving, or endowed as a legacy for the future. It can be publicly recognized or anonymous.
