SysGen is a client-focused IT consulting organization for small to mid-sized businesses headquartered in Calgary with offices in Edmonton, Red Deer and the Okanagan.
The program is part of the SysGen Cares commitment to the communities it operates within. SysGen Cares was launched in 2015 to support local nonprofits by sharing their team’s technical expertise and resources. SysGen Cares provides support to local nonprofits for the betterment of their communities. Nonprofit organizations may receive free IT support from SysGen for a two-year term through this program once applied or nominated for the program.
SysGen was founded in 1995 and is a major player in IT consulting firms across Western Canada. Over its 25 years, the company has received several national and international awards.
The current program is open for applications and nominations until July 1st, 2022. Winners will be chosen based on financial need, local impact, alignment with SysGen values and culture, and readiness for IT support.
One nonprofit in each of its actively operating locations will be chosen, including Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer and the Okanagan. The four winning organizations will be the recipient of managed IT services and procurement support for the noted term.
Ryan Richardet, SysGen President said about the SysGen Cares program, “Charities form the backbone of our communities. Their work is important to support vulnerable and underserved populations. Giving back by providing IT support for two years is SysGen’s way of enabling nonprofits to focus on achieving their missions, faster. Technology improves efficiency and innovation, and SysGen is proud to provide strategic support to ensure nonprofits achieve their goals.”
To qualify for both the application and to fulfill nominations, nonprofit organizations must be registered charities with Revenue Canada. Nonprofits can be nominated or submit their applications, and learn more about the process via the SysGen website.

Police in Edmonton have charged two more people following the killing of an eight-year-old girl whose remains were found on a First Nation south of the provincial capital.
Officers responded on April 24 to a welfare call about the girl at an Edmonton home but were unable to locate her.
Her remains were discovered five days later on the Samson Cree Nation in Maskwacis.
Shayden Lightning, who is 21, and Raighne Stoney, who is 36, have been charged with being an accessory to murder and causing an indignity to a body.
Three others were initially charged in the case.
Police are not releasing the names of two of the accused in order to protect the identities of other children related to the victim, whose identity is under a publication ban.
A 27-year-old woman faces a charge of first-degree murder and a 25-year-old man faces charges of being an accessory to murder and causing an indignity to a body.
Edward Nievera, 67, was charged with being an accessory to murder and causing an indignity to a body.
Edmonton police Staff Sgt. Colin Leathem said in a release Friday that the recent arrests will be the last in the case and that the investigation has concluded.
“We want to thank the RCMP in Maskwacis and Wetaskiwin for their assistance with this investigation,” he said. “Needless to say, this was an exceptionally distressing investigation to work on, and they went above and beyond in helping to facilitate these final arrests and bring this file to conclusion.
“While nothing can change the horror of what occurred, we hope (the arrests) can provide some measure of justice to those who knew and loved this little girl.”
