Door-to-Door Canvassing Program

Crossroads InternationaL IS COMING TO A CITY NEAR YOU

Crossroads International is conducting door-to-door campaigns in communities across Ontario to gain new monthly supporters.

Crossroads International has been a leader in volunteer cooperation for over 65 years, advancing equality for women and girls and eradicating poverty in some of the world’s poorest countries.

Crossroads International is raising vital funds to address the gendered impacts of the post-COVID pandemic and climate change, while building the capacity and resilience of women and girls over the long-term. Door-to-Door fundraising is one of the most effective and personal ways to raise awareness and engage the public on Crossroads’ work to advance gender equality.

We have once again partnered with Global Faces Direct, to carry out our door-to-door campaign. Global Faces Direct is a well-regarded agency dedicated to building a sustainable charitable sector through ethically and socially responsible methods. They have gone through a rigorous evaluation to partner with and represent Crossroads International. Our canvassers seek monthly donations, as this support allows us to forecast our funding, budget our finances and plan future projects and initiatives in support of vulnerable women and girls in sub-Saharan Africa.

In keeping with Imagine Canada’s Standards Program and best practices for fundraising, our canvassers receive an hourly wage and receive no commission for the supporters they sign up or the dollars they help raise.

how to identify crossroads international door-to-door canvassers:

You can identify our representatives, who will be going door-to-door, by their photo ID badge and Crossroads-branded lanyard, vest, or shirt. They will often have a laminated brochure or a binder with our logo and information.

Crossroads’ canvassers work with handheld devices (smartphones or tablets) with encrypted software to securely process credit card transactions and capture bank information on the spot, reducing administrative costs and the use of paper forms. All new donors should receive a confirmation email within 24 hours of their donation being processed.

For security reasons, our canvassers are unable to accept cash.
