Donors in the U.S.
We make it easy for Americans and Canadians with U.S.-sourced income to support their Canadian charities
Working with Tides Foundation in the U.S., we can help donors in the U.S. recommend grants to Canadian registered charities.
Here’s how it works:
- You contact Tides Canada to receive a donation form to contribute to the Tides Canada Exchange Fund at Tides Foundation in the U.S. by cheque or securities.
- You request that Tides Foundation makes a recommendation to Tides Canada Foundation to grant to the registered Canadian charity of your choice.
- Subject to the requirements of Tides Foundation, your donation will be acknowledged and receipted, and Tides Foundation may advise your grant recommendation to the Canadian registered charity.
- 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 less 2% (retained by Tides Foundation).
All donations to Tides Foundation must be $1,000 USD or greater.
