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™ Grants
The Share the Warmth Grant program provides funding to charitable organizations that offer warm clothing, shelter or food services to help our province’s most vulnerable citizens manage our harsh prairie winters. Through an annual application process, organizations can receive up to $1,000 for their project.
Share the Warmth empowers charitable organizations to provide extra services by further leveraging funds they receive.
Since 2013, $370,000 has been distributed to support more than 340 projects. Nearly 30 years ago, the Share the Warmth brand began as a Sweater Recycling Project, which redistributed thousands of articles of warm clothing to individuals across Saskatchewan.
*The application process is closed for this year. Check back for more information about future programs.
Tune-Up Assistance Program (TAP)
With the support of SaskEnergy Network Members, TAP helps income qualified homeowners tune-up their furnace to prepare for the winter ahead.
Recipients receive a hands-on furnace examination and maintenance service free of charge. They also receive a carbon monoxide detector, two furnace filters and up to $100 in repairs (if required) for a total program value of up to $300.
Regular maintenance of your home heating system helps keep your furnace running safely and efficiently, reduces the risk of costly repairs in the future and carbon monoxide in the home. Our 2020 program helped over 700 homeowners in 48 communities.
Goals for KidSport™
Celebrating 10 Seasons of Goals for KidSport!
Goals for KidSport is a collaboration between SaskEnergy and the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) that helps raise funds for KidSport Saskatchewan. KidSport helps youth participate in sport by reducing the financial pressure often associated with accessing these types of activities.
SaskEnergy proudly donates $20 to KidSport for every home goal scored by an SJHL team throughout the hockey season. SaskEnergy Network Members also contribute funding to KidSport and help celebrate the generous volunteers in each SJHL community. To date, the program has raised more than $230,000 to help ensure all kids can play.
Awards
To celebrate and recognize the invaluable volunteers and achievements of community sport initiatives, the following awards are delivered each season:
• The KidSport Cup is awarded to the SJHL team who scores the most home goals
• The player who scores the 1000th goal is acknowledged. This event symbolizes SaskEnergy’s $20,000 contribution to KidSport!
• Volunteer Champion Awards are presented to individuals or groups of volunteers in each SJHL community who show dedication and support for their home team
On average, KidSport provides $200 per child in funding. Over the past 20 years, we are proud to help raise $1.3 million creating access to sport for 6,500 kids in Saskatchewan!
