You can receive U.S. tax benefits for your support of Canadian charities.

We make it easy for Canadians living and working in the U.S. to support their favorite Canadian charities.

Tides Canada enables cross-border philanthropy, helping donors in the U.S. recommend grants or ongoing gifts to Canadian charities. Whether you are new to philanthropy or an established donor, we work with you to do the most with your money, your ideas and your ideals.

In partnership with Tides Foundation in the United States, we ensure that U.S. donations for Canadian registered charities generate a U.S. charitable donation receipt. Americans or individuals with U.S.-sourced income can utilize our international granting capability.

Here’s how it works:

• You complete this form and mail it with your cheque donation to Tides Foundation in the US.
• Within three to six weeks of your donation, Tides Foundation provides you with an acknowledgment receipt that can be used for U.S. tax purposes.
• Your Canadian charity of choice receives the grant in four to six weeks in a Canadian dollar amount equivalent to your U.S. dollar gift.

All donations to Tides Foundation must be $1,000 USD or greater.

If you have any questions, please contact Rachel Rocco at 1.866.TIDES.CA (843.3722) ext. 616.

Want to make a donation of less than $1,000?

That's great! Though smaller donations are not eligible for U.S. tax benefits, you can still make a contribution to the Canadian charity of your choice.
