The Spirit of Success There are many reasons to give to SAIT – to honour your relatives, to support programs that you feel passionately about or to leave a legacy for future generations. At the heart of every donation is the desire to make a difference in students’ lives. There are many ways you can pass on your support to us: 
Annual Giving Each year, thousands of donors choose to support SAIT through our annual giving campaign. Funds raised through these efforts go directly to the SAIT Opportunities Fund which helps us to: - Provide financial assistance to current and future SAIT students.
- Acquire state-of-the-art educational materials and equipment required for teaching.
- Make much needed improvements to classrooms and other learning spaces on campus.

Corporate Partnerships Partnerships with corporations in the community have been a cornerstone of SAIT's approach to learning since its early beginnings. These partnerships not only create a valuable bridge between the classroom and the real world of work for our students but also between industry and the workers of the future. From recruitment and hiring possibilities to research collaboration and technology transfer, we at SAIT would like to work with your organization to ensure your strategic and philanthropic goals are being met while providing vital support to SAIT students. To find out more about the benefits of a strategic partnership with SAIT, please contact Susan Mainella at 403.210.4443.
Memorial Awards Leaving a gift to SAIT in honour of a loved one is a way of remembering a special person in your life while supporting the next generation. The Memorial Legacy Fund was established to accept financial contributions in memory of loved ones. All gifts are deposited into a designated account as part of SAIT's Memorial Legacy Fund. This fund is a pooled scholarship endowment that funds scholarships from the accrued interest. The awards are presented annually in memory of all loved ones and on behalf of the participating groups and donors. For more information on creating a memorial award, please contact Neil Williams at 403.284.7377.
Student Awards SAIT has a long and proud tradition of providing scholarships to students with financial needs. Investments by individuals, companies and organizations have helped countless students who would otherwise have been unable to attend SAIT. As a result, a total of 2,800 awards were given to SAIT students last year totaling $3.5 million. With the on-going commitment of donors, SAIT's scholarship program continues to ensure that SAIT learners have the financial resources they need to further their education and achieve their career goals. Conveniently give now by using SAIT's online donation form or for further information about student awards, please contact Debby Deniset at 403.774.5214.
US Donors With over 180,000 graduates living in countries throughout the world, SAIT is proud of our international representation and grateful for the generous and continued support of our donors from around the world. Gifts from alumni and friends outside Canada are always welcome and in many cases are eligible for favorable tax treatment – particularly those made from the United States. The Canada - United States Tax Treaty Article XXI(5) provides that United States taxpayers may claim income tax deductions on their US federal income tax return for gifts they make to SAIT if the donor/taxpayer or a member of his/her family is, or was, enrolled at SAIT. As a US donor, you may make your donation by visiting our online giving page or downloading our pledge form (*.pdf; opens new browser window) and mailing it back to us along with your gift.
