Strengthening Charities &
Non-Profits

Canada needs a strong, strategic, and effective charitable and non-profit sector.

Since our inception, Tides has been dedicated to strengthening and enabling the work of charities, non-profits and emerging groups.

We free up charities and nonprofits to focus on their mission and program work while they rely on our support infrastructure and services.

We provide alternative operating models and services that create efficiencies and encourage collaboration.

Shared Services - Sage Centre

Sage Centre was started and developed by Tides to increase the impact, efficiency, and sustainability of emerging non-profits.

Considered a Canadian pioneer and innovator in shared services, Sage provides a platform of governance, human resources, financial, grants, and risk- management services for some of Canada’s most innovative environmental and social change initiatives.

These initiatives are focused on:

Conservation
Education and Research
Leadership Development
Civic Engagement
Building Capacity for the Charitable Sector

Social Finance

Social finance is a sustainable approach to managing money that delivers social, environmental dividends and economic return.

Already dramatically underfinanced, Canada’s charities and non-profits face increasing financial pressures as competition for donations and government funding continues to increase.

They need access to new forms of capital.

Tides hosts Causeway, a national collaboration to accelerate the growth of social finance options for charities and community organizations.
