Help support the success of Trade Winds students

Your financial support helps Indigenous students build fulfilling careers in the trades. Your donation will allow us reach and train more Indigenous people in Alberta who are looking to enter the trades.

Supporting Trade Winds to Success with a cash donation offers the greatest flexibility in addressing the immediate needs of our students and organization. Your contribution allows us to allocate resources where they are most needed, whether it’s for essential training materials, student support services, or program development, ensuring the most impactful use of your generosity.

Contact us today to discuss the various options for giving and how you can make a lasting impact.

Student Emergency Fund

Help students who face a financial crisis—whether due to loss of income, inability to cover rising food costs or rent, or unexpected changes in personal circumstances. Emergency funds help students stay in the program when they encounter unforeseen difficulties that may put their studies at risk.

Healthy Snack Program

Many of our students live on a fixed or limited income. With rising food costs, access to adequate nutrition can be a challenge. Help us provide our students with healthy snacks so they can focus on what’s important, their learning.
