Improving the well-being of individuals builds a strong sense of community. We believe in lending a hand when and where we can.
Share the Warmth™
For over 30 years, the Share the Warmth program has helped vulnerable people manage through our cold prairie winters. The program began in 1994 as a Sweater Recycling Project which redistributed nearly one million articles of warm clothing to individuals across the province. Today, the Share the Warmth grant program provides funding to charitable organizations that offer warm clothing, shelter, food services or mental health support. Organizations can receive up to $1,000 for their project, through an annual application process.
Since 2013, $530,000 has supported more than 530 Share the Warmth projects. This year, SaskEnergy is providing $100,000 in grants to charitable organizations. Applications are currently not be accepted.
Heating Affordability Program
The Heating Affordability Program (HAP) offers income-qualifying homeowners the opportunity to replace their low-efficiency furnace with a high-efficiency furnace at no cost.
The program is available to help residential homeowners who may be facing financial barriers lower their monthly energy bills over the long-term and reduce the risk of a carbon monoxide leak.
Funding is available to replace 50 qualifying low-efficiency furnaces with spots filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
Community Sport Initiatives
For more than 20 years, SaskEnergy has been supporting access to sport for youth and those experiencing disability through programs like KidSport & Special Olympics Saskatchewan. Access to sports helps build skills such as leadership, confidence, teamwork and fuels healthy habits for life.
SaskEnergy is proud to be the official volunteer sponsor for KidSport Saskatchewan and Special Olympics Saskatchewan. KidSport Saskatchewan provides funding to more than 6,000 kids every year, granting over $1million to creating opportunities to access and participate in sports. Special Olympics Saskatchewan provides year-round low to no cost sport programs to more than 1,100 people with intellectual disability.
Employee Giving
Our employees are leaders in giving back to their community either through work-led initiatives or through personal contributions. Corporate fundraising events occur to create awareness and to contribute to causes that have the greatest impact within the community. For over 20 years, employees across the province help promote and raise funds for the United Way.
The United Way brings together organizations and individuals to share ideas and provide solutions to current challenges within the community.
