The Family Campaign is the annual internal fundraising campaign for Faculty and Staff.

Our gifts create new opportunities for students to learn and grow, and they benefit society as a whole by better preparing students to succeed and contribute to their communities. Our gifts inspire additional support by alumni, foundations and corporations, and they help students attend SAIT to pursue their dreams.

• Student Success: Your participation in the SAIT Family Campaign will bring financial relief to students, help invest in learning and student success initiatives and make a real difference in our SAIT community
• Staff Engagement: It’s also an opportunity to celebrate our people, our accomplishments and our institution. Our Shout Out program provides a way for colleagues to celebrate each other in a tangible way.

Everyone at SAIT works hard to empower the next generation of SAIT students. No matter what role we play, we all contribute to student success by ensuring they receive the best education possible. 

Our Family Campaign runs annually. In 2024, the campaign will take place from Feb. 12 to March 15. 

Participate individually or with your team in one or all of the exciting missions:  

1. Take up on the Artsy Joy: Locate and Identify adventure hosted by the Black Empowerment & Excellence Team   
2. Become a monthly donor 
3. Take part in the 50/50 or pet photo contest 
4. Send/ receive a ShoutOut to your colleagues 
5. Participate in the team bonding activities   

Your choice. We encourage you to support one of this year’s priority funds— SAIT Opportunities Fund, Trojans Athletics Foundation Endowment Fund or Kohkoms Kahsagahetin Endowment Fund (also known as “grandmother’s love” helping Indigenous Students facing an unexpected financial crisis). You are also welcome to check out one of our employee-led initiatives.

The winnings from the 50/50 raffle will go towards the Trojans Athletics Foundation Endowment Fund. 

ShoutOut proceeds assist important student-focused funds. For example, regular ShoutOuts support Family Campaign Peer Recognition Award, and EDI ShoutOuts support the Inclusion Matters Fund. 

This does not mean we are limited to only awards and funds mentioned above, if there is an award or fund close to your heart but not mentioned, please use this link or contact us to start your own fund. 

Becoming a monthly donor is simple. Make a difference by signing up for payroll deductions online or via the attached form. Many find this to be the easiest way to make a gift, as ongoing payments allow your total gift to be broken into smaller amounts.  

You can make a one-time gift through our online giving form.

Yes. You will receive your tax receipt electronically if you give a one-time gift through your credit card or a cheque. If you donate through the payroll deduction, you will see your combined payroll deductions donation on line 46 of your T4 for the year 2024. 

However, if you take part in the 50/50 Raffle you will NOT receive a tax receipt for those activities.  As this is a game of chance. 

You take part in the missions announced each week to get points either as a team or individually. You must use your SAIT email to collect your points. Missions
