Grant and Funding Programs Offered by WestJet

WestJet is a Canadian airline whose community investment includes Airport Community Giving, national partnerships and in-kind flight support. The Airport Community Giving program empowers WestJetters to participate in the communities where they live and work by supporting charities, nonprofits and community projects through flight donations and locally informed giving. WestJet also uses the gift of flight to help partners such as youth-serving organizations, health-related charities and community groups travel for training, activities, events, fundraising and program delivery. In the funding ecosystem, airline in-kind support is valuable because transportation costs can be a real barrier for nonprofits, especially when services, training, medical access or community events require travel. WestJet s role helps organizations convert donated travel into fundraising value, operational savings or expanded reach. This support complements cash grants by removing logistical costs and connecting national corporate resources to local community priorities.
