We pride ourselves on being the Champion of Volunteers for Saskatchewan’s premiere cultural and sporting events. SaskEnergy is proud to sponsor hundreds of community events, programs, and initiatives each year through financial sponsorship and in-kind contributions.
Champion of Volunteers
Saskatchewan has the highest rate of volunteerism in Canada. From town festivals to large scale events such as Grey Cup, we often play a small, but mighty role in showcasing the many volunteers who give endless time and energy.
Through approved Champion of Volunteer sponsorships, our support provides tools to prepare and keep volunteers energized. Sponsorship opportunities include financial contributions, banners, promotional items and lanyards to easily identify volunteers in the crowd.
Fundraising & Sponsorship
As part of our community engagement program, we provide non-profit organizations with cash sponsorships and/or promotional merchandise to help raise additional funds. Promotional items can be used at fundraising events in silent auctions and/or raffles.
Support for Volunteer Firefighters
With more than 350 fire departments and over 7,000 firefighters in the province, emergency responders need resources available to work through the impact of traumatic events and emergencies. They also need training and the necessary equipment for when duty calls.
SaskEnergy offers:
- Volunteer Fire Department Fundraising Grants
Volunteer firefighter departments can apply for grants of $1,500. Funding must be used to create opportunities for additional fundraising by raffling off a natural gas appliance such as a barbecue, fire table or campfire. The natural gas appliance must be purchased from a SaskEnergy Network Member and funds raised must be used to support the purchase of equipment or to upgrade facilities. - Natural Gas Safety Training
Materials and topics focus on natural gas awareness and critical safety procedures to follow when responding to a natural gas leak.
Employee Community Action & Charity Match Grants
SaskEnergy employees roll up their sleeves and help when they can - it’s part of our culture. When a team of employees band together to raise funds for a charity of their choice, we provide grants that can help pay for supplies to initiate their project, or match the dollars raised from a fundraiser.
