Face-to-Face Fundraising Program
About the Program
At Save the Children, our face-to-face fundraisers connect with communities across Canada to inspire long-term support for children living through crisis and conflict around the world.
Represented by our dedicated partners Public Outreach, SunSpark, and GiveBridge, our passionate fundraisers are active every day in malls, grocery stores, as well as commercial and residential neighbourhoods in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Nova Scotia to engage the public and inspire their support.

While every donation makes a difference, monthly, annual and quarterly gifts have a uniquely powerful impact. Recurring contributions provide Save the Children with dependable, long-term support, enabling us to help provide clean water, food, education, and healthcare for children in crisis worldwide. Monthly, quarterly and annual gifts strengthen our ability to respond right away when a war breaks out or disaster strikes and to sustain vital programming within a community long term. Regular donations are transformational for Save the Children and enable us to reach children when and where they need it most.
