Community Support

‘Driving Local Economies’ also means giving back to the communities where we live and work. We’re always looking to find new ways of supporting our neighbours, while getting Vendastians away from their monitors and into the wild.

Vendasta Community Support focuses on…

  • Enriching the lives of children & families in need
  • Promoting digital literacy and STEM education
  • Advocating for a strong technology ecosystem in Canada.

Volunteering

Did you know every Vendastian receives volunteer hours they can use to help organizations that mean the most to them? We’re always looking for ways to give back to the communities that make our cities bright! If you’re in need of volunteers, contact the Community Team!

Charitable Contributions

We frequently invest in causes and organizations that align with our three community support focuses. If you think your organization is a fit, please fill out our Community Support Application. A volunteer committee meets several times a year to discuss requests. Please note: It may take up to 90 days to process applications. 

Employee Contributions

Vendasta also has an Employee Donation Matching Program. Contributions from Vendastians to registered charities are eligible for matched donations by Vendasta!

Vendasta Tech Camp

We’re passionate about sparking curiosity for the next generation of technology leaders. Vendasta Tech Camp is a one-day program for grades 6 to 8 classes in Saskatoon. Students visit Vendasta, where they’ll participate in fun STEM activities and learn more about the incredible technology we build and provide to local experts around the world. Details on our next Vendasta Tech Camp will be released soon — until then, find more information here!  

Vendasta Community Carnival

Vendasta is hosting a free family-friendly community event after identifying a lack of cost-free activities for children in Saskatoon’s inner-city communities. The event will feature a range of carnival-style activities.

The event is designed to foster community spirit and create memorable experiences for families and friends. Vendasta’s staff and volunteers will be present to ensure safety and enjoyment. While the event is free, attendees are encouraged to register in advance.

We also invite potential sponsors to support this community initiative. Several FAQs, terms and conditions, and COVID-19 safety protocols are also provided to ensure attendees’ well-being and address any concerns. Please visit our landing page to learn more.
