Join Tides Canada’s Shared Platform
Join other changemakers making a difference on our shared platform.
Good people with great ideas, building solutions that promote environmental sustainability, social equity, and economic prosperity—this is what we look for in shared platform projects.
Tides Canada projects are dedicated to environmental and social issues in seven core areas:
- Clean Energy and Climate Solutions
- Healthy Oceans
- Healthy Watersheds
- Protected Lands and Forests
- Resilient Communities
- Sustainable Food Systems
- Sustainable Livelihoods
Tides Canada allocates 10-12% of project revenues to contribute to shared overhead costs.
Several of us have previously been involved in starting up new organizations so we knew how much time and effort it would take to establish ourselves independently. We wanted to put that time and energy towards program delivery, rather than organizational development, so the shared platform was a perfect solution. Joining was a huge asset, both in the short term for administrative and technical support and expertise, and in the long term by providing access to significant sector expertise, meaningful and supportive professional relationships, and some of the best networks in the country.
Is Tides Canada’s shared platform right for you?
- Do you create positive change in one of our core areas?
- Do you have strong leadership and committed staff/volunteers?
- Do you have funding commitments and/or a viable financial model?
If you answered yes to all the questions above we would love to hear from you!
