A Culture Of Caring Goes Beyond The Aircrafts


As part of Westjet’s caring culture and their Responsible Growth program, they are also investing their ideas into two community programs.  Westjet Cares For Kids and Westjetters Caring For Our Community are where Westjet owners are encouraged to become more active in giving back to the communities.



Yes, Westjet does care and wants you to see they also care about helping out the communities.  Supporting charities and non-profit organizations, they serve with “in-kind (non-cash) gift-of-flight donation to be used for fundraising purposes”. (http://www.westjet.com/guest/en/about/community-investment/index.shtml)

Westjet also has requests to support events, programs and organizations and if you are interested to have Westjet as a supporter of your event you can use their online request tool.  This allows you or your organization to let them know what your project is all about and how your group/event/organization will benefit from their support.   The questions asked are the same for everyone.  This makes it more effective and they can make quicker decisions due to the high volume requests received each year.


 Unfortunately, there are a few requests that Westjet cannot support:
  • Financial support.
  • Supporting political or religious events/organizations.
  • Individuals raising money independently for an event/organization. (racers, bikers, runners)
  • Third-party fundraising events/organizations without approval from the actual organization.
  • Individuals wanting assistance for personal travel to conferences, training/learning programs, contests or competitions.
  • Appreciation events where tickets will be awarded to individuals that get recognition for their hard work.


If your event/organization is interested in having Westjet as a supporter, please visit their website http://www.westjet.com/guest/en/about/community-investment/index.shtml and ensure you read the instructions before submitting our request.   You always want to be prepared with the proper information you need.


Westjet always wishes you success with your event and thanks you for thinking of them!
