Our Story
The SAIT Students’ Association (Saitsa) is a non-profit organization working, independently from SAIT, to support and enhance the lives of over 21,000 SAIT students.
We do this by providing essential services such as the Emergency Food Bank, Christmas Adopt-a-Family, student awards, free tax filing, a Peer Support Centre, first aid and naloxone training, locker rentals and more.
We operate student-favourite businesses such as The Odyssey Cafe & Market and host a wide-variety of student events including Fall Welcome Week and Winter Polar Jam, various expos, trivia & bingo events, as well as music and comedy events.
And last, but not least, we represent SAIT students to all levels of government and the institution, ensuring that policymakers are aware of what matters to SAIT students.

Sponsorship Opportunities
Saitsa Awards
As a sponsor of the Saitsa Awards program, you’ll help us celebrate those who encompass and embrace the spirit of what it means to be a member of the SAIT community. The Saitsa Awards predominantly recognize students who demonstrate a commitment to improving the student experience at every opportunity through school spirit, student support, and advocacy. Additionally, there are awards for instructors as well as SAIT staff members and departments.

Emergency Food Fund
Saitsa’s Emergency Food Fund is designed to support SAIT students who are experiencing food insecurity due to financial hardships. During the 2021/2022 the demand for this program was so overwhelming we were in the unfortunate position of having to suspend the program before the end of the winter semester.
As a sponsor of the Emergency Food Fund, you’ll help us ensure that no student goes hungry and students will remember your generosity.
If support and community are values your organization believes in, this might be the sponsorship program for you.

Wellness Bank
At Saitsa we believe that hygiene should be a basic right, not a luxury. Which is why we’ve created the Wellness Bank to help students in-need get essential hygiene items such as shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, toothpaste, toilet paper, deodorant, feminine hygiene products and more.
Like the Emergency Food Fund, this program was also met with an overwhelming demand that saw us ending the program before the end of the Winter semester. As a sponsor of the Wellness Bank, you’ll help us ensure that students have access to the hygiene products they need regardless of their financial status.
If support and community are values your organization puts first, this might be the program for you.

The Adopt-A-Family program is a seasonal program that runs in the months leading up the winter holiday season. Over 25% of SAIT students identify as parents and/or caregivers and Saitsa knows that the holiday season is tough for some families and the Adopt-A-Family program provides support for families in need to make sure they have a happy holiday season.
As a sponsor for the Adopt-A-Family program you can help put smiles on the faces of SAIT students and their families.
If your organization loves spreading holiday cheer and making sure that no family gets left behind, this could be the sponsorship program for you.

If personal development and community building are values your organization believes in, this might be the sponsorship program for you.
