Make a Gift of Shares
SAIT welcomes gifts of publicly listed securities such as mutual funds, shares, and stocks with the assistance of a professional broker.
You can make a gift of shares to SAIT by transferring them electronically and we strongly recommend you consult your financial advisor, securities broker or another financial representative to assist you in making the transfer.
For more information or to initiate a gift, please contact Anthony.Salekin@sait.ca or call 403.284.7046.
Please note: Transferring shares between brokerage firms often take 3 to 4 business days and price fluctuations can occur. It is SAIT's policy to sell donated securities as soon as possible. Your gift will be valued at the closing price on the day the security is received in our account and you will be issued a charitable tax receipt for that value. To ensure a charitable tax receipt for the current year is issued, please initiate your gift before Dec. 15.
If you prefer to donate by mail, you can send a one-time gift via cheque or money order payable to the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT). Send your donation using the address below.

The Student Calling program is made up of a team of Student Development Representatives — SAIT students — who connect SAIT graduates back to their alma mater. Student callers will ask about the SAIT experience from an alumni perspective and educate alumni on how they can support SAIT students through a variety of giving opportunities. They'll also provide updates on SAIT events, campus developments and other ways alumni can stay connected or get involve. We are very proud of our student callers who act as ambassadors to the SAIT alumni community. |
