Real support for SAIT students

Whether you choose to make a gift once or monthly — your support has an immediate impact.

There are many reasons to give to SAIT — honouring a loved one, supporting a program or school you feel passionate about, emergency needs, or leaving a legacy for future generations.  At the heart of every donation is the intention to positively impact a student's life and overall success. One hundred per cent of your gift will go directly to the project you choose to support. 

SAIT’s giving programs continue to support student needs as part of our Real Futures Campaign and its investment areas. You can help SAIT students achieve their full potential with a gift for one of the giving areas below: 

Real Students
Fueling ambition. Empowering futures.

Real futures are built by many hands — and many vital funds. You can choose to direct your gift to a fund that ensures immediate support is provided to SAIT students so they can stay focused on their education:

Real Places
Building spaces that inspire.

Help build the new cornerstone of campus — the Taylor Family Campus Centre — where tomorrow's leaders will gather, grow and thrive. The new space will be a hub for connection, collaboration and community. More than a building, it's the future heart of campus life, where students, alumni and industry come together.

Real Possibilities
Turning ideas into action.

Supporting students is an investment in bold ideas and real-world impact.

From breakthrough prototypes to community-driven initiatives and fresh approaches to old problems, this is where ideas take shape. With your support and guidance from industry experts, students move swiftly from concept to impact, gaining the skills and confidence to lead in Alberta’s innovation economy.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.

SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.

We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
