Face to Face Fundraising

Three fundraisers preparing for an event. One individual in the middle is wearing a green Saskatchewan jersey, while the other two individuals beside him are wearing a red jackets/sweater. They are standing behind a table that has many red t-shirts on it. The three fundraisers are wearing masks.
Face-to-face canvassing, whether it is on the street, in shopping malls, business to business or door-to-door, is a cost-effective way for Special Olympics Canada to reach a demographic we have not reached through other campaigns. Face-to-face canvassers are able to have personal conversations about our programs and about the benefits of monthly giving with thousands of people in all parts of the country.

Face-to-Face Campaigns

Our door-to-door fundraisers knock on doors all across Canada. Each fundraiser talks daily to hundreds of people about the work of Special Olympics Canada and invites them to support our work with a monthly gift.

Side by side images of two different face to face canvassers. The image on the left showcases a full body image of a woman canvasser. She is wearing a red Special Olympics vest, with a lanyard around her neck, a mask, and a toque. The image on the right showcases a closer up image of a man canvasser. He is wearing a red Special Olympics vest, with a lanyard around his neck, a mask, and earmuffs. There is snow on the ground.

How do I know if a Fundraiser is legitimate?

A legitimate Special Olympics Canada fundraiser will wear a prominently displayed name tag and have a good knowledge about our programs and initiatives. Fundraisers often wear a vest, a coat or a golf shirt identified with the Special Olympics Canada logo and will also carry material on our programs. In some parts of the country, canvassers carry electronic tablets to collect information electronically.

Our canvassers are committed to recruiting supporters who wish to support Special Olympics Canada through a monthly donation. Door-to-door canvassers can, in some occasions, accept single donations. Canvassers are not allowed to accept bills or coins.

During the sign-up process for monthly donations, you will receive a phone call from Special Olympics Canada's Face-to-Face team's contact centre to verify your details. Please note the number below.
