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.

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).
