As you plan your year-end giving, we hope you will consider a gift to Tides Canada to advance our work in tackling tough social and environmental issues.
You can help by making a gift to one of the nearly 40 social change projects on our shared platform, donating to a donor advised fund, or making an unrestricted gift, which will go to the area of greatest need. Together, we can protect what makes us proud to be Canadian—a healthy environment, thriving and caring communities, and a sustainable future for generations to come.
Please mark your calendars with these important year-end giving dates.

PLEASE NOTE: As per CRA regulations, only donations postmarked before or on December 31, 2015 will receive a charitable tax receipt for credit for the 2015 calendar year—these gifts with the December 31, 2015 postmark must be received in our office by January 12, 2016. The relevant date is the postmark on the envelope accompanying the cheque vs. the date on the cheque (i.e. if the cheque is dated December 31, 2015, but the postmark is in 2016—the donor will be issued a tax receipt for the 2016 calendar year).
