ABOUT US
CHARITY CANVASSING
What is Charity Canvassing?
Charity canvassing is when people ‘canvass’ streets and malls, or door-to-door, for donations. People are approached, told about a charity and its purpose, and are given the opportunity to ask questions and to donate. One Canadian charity reported receiving an additional $5 million in donations “because of conversations people have had with street or door-to-door canvassing.”
Why Do Charities Need Charity Canvassing?
- According to Donor Box, individual donations are the main source of funding for non-profits.
- 71% of all donations come from individuals (include charity canvassing efforts).
-
On average, 84% of Canadians aged 15 or older donate to charities, and the average individual donation is $446 per year.
- $10.6 billion dollars are donated by Canadians every year.
When you are trying to make a difference in the world with your charitable organization, it can feel frustrating if funding is not sufficient. Your organization may be a non-profit, but it still needs money to operate and achieve its goals. Canadians are willing, and able, to donate, you just have to know how to connect with them.
Charity canvassing achieves two goals: spreading awareness for your cause and your organization and collecting donations. However, it can be hard to find volunteers and individuals within your staff who are willing to get out there and conduct some charity canvassing on the streets of Toronto. An individual who is out there charity canvassing needs to be high energy, should be able to take rejection well, and should represent your organization in a positive way.
The Top Choice for Charity Canvassing in Canada
