The Tides Foundation is dedicated to allowing US citizens and organizations, like some of you, to give to Canadian charities like the Burns Bog Conservation Society. By giving through the Tides Foundation you get a charitable tax receipt to file against your US income and we will receive your very welcome gift.

The process is simple:

1. Make a donation (minimum $1000) to the Tides Foundation and fill out a form asking the Tides Foundation (US) to make a recommendation to the Tides Canada Foundation to give a grant to the Burns Bog Conservation Society. Customized forms are attached for gifts of cheques or shares.

2. 3-6 Weeks after getting the donation and completed form the Tides Foundation gives you, the donor, a U.S. 501(c)(3) receipt that you can use for U.S. income tax purposes.

3. 4-6 weeks after the Tides Foundation gets the donation and completed form, Tides Canada gives us a grant for the Canadian equivalent of your US donation less their handling fee (2%).

If 2% seems high, other international transaction organizations take as much as 33% of what you gift to the Burns Bog Conservation Society.

If you have any questions about this process, please get in touch with us or the Tides Foundation, contact information below.

Thank you so much for thinking of us,
