Why your gift at the door matters

Poverty affects millions of children around the world that limit access to essentials like food, clean water, health care and education. The impact is real and immediate and without support, it negatively affects a child’s future. 

Children Believe’s is fundraising door-to-door to reach people in communities across Canada. Our aim is to connect with, and inspire, compassionate individuals like you to make a gift that will help remove the barriers of poverty in children’s lives. Your single gift makes an immediate and lasting difference.

Our Door-To-Door Fundraising Partner: Giveroo 

Children Believe partners with Giveroo, a trusted Canadian face-to-face fundraising service provider. In line with Imagine Canada’s Standards Program and best practices for fundraising, our fundraisers are compensated through hourly wages and not commission based. We also ensure that they receive comprehensive training to fully understand and speak on behalf of Children Believe and the impact of our work and mission programs.   

 

Our Door-To-Door Fundraising Partner: Canada Direct

Children Believe has partnered with Canada Direct, a trusted fundraising vendor, to contact supporters and members of the public by phone. These calls help us share the impact of our work and invite people to join our mission of giving children around the world access to education. If you receive a call from Canada Direct, you can be confident it is legitimate and made on our behalf. Callers will clearly identify themselves and Children Believe at the start of every call. Canada Direct follows all applicable Canadian laws and CRTC regulations, including those on calling hours and do-not-call requests. If you would prefer not to receive these calls, simply let the caller know, or contact us at fundraise@childrenbelieve.ca and we will make sure your request is honoured promptly. If you ever have questions or concerns about a call you've received, we'd be glad to help.
