Empower Your Vision for Change
If you want to change the world for the better, Tides Canada can help. 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.
Tides Canada is flexible and responsive. We help you identify where and how your gift can have the greatest impact. Our experts help you invest in real solutions that bring about real change.
Do You:
- ENVISION making a lasting impact, but feel overwhelmed by the thousands of charities out there?
- IMAGINE one day having your own charitable foundation, but think this is beyond your means?
- RESPOND to calls for donations, but would rather chart a proactive plan for making the most of your charitable dollars?
The Solution: A donor advised fund at Tides Canada
With a donor advised fund at Tides Canada, your dream for a better world can become reality. Establishing a fund is an easy and cost-effective way for you or your family to make a difference. It’s like having your own foundation – without the expense and hassle of managing an entire organization.
Simplify and amplify the impact of your giving
- You make a one-time or ongoing contribution to Tides Canada, which is immediately tax deductible at the time of your gift.
- You then recommend grants to be made from your donor advised fund.
- Or, you can work with a Tides Canada client specialist to determine where your gift can have the greatest impact.
Tides Canada handles the paperwork and provides due diligence, which enables you to focus on your vision for making change. We take care of your grant-making administration, fund management, and reporting.
Your donor advised fund can be annual, long-term, or endowed as a legacy. It can be publicly recognized or anonymous.
Contributions to your fund can take many forms, including cash, publicly traded securities, real estate, life insurance, and gifts from your estate.
Pool your gifts with others
We can also help you pool gifts with others to increase the power of your giving. You can explore ways to have friends, family, or co-workers help grow your fund to celebrate an occasion, support a favourite cause, or commemorate a loved one.
Give internationally
We facilitate tax-efficient cross-border philanthropy and donations to causes in all the places you care about, in partnership with Tides Foundation in the U.S.
Our international giving services and counsel can be used for one-time grant recommendations and ongoing gifts to U.S. or international charities.
