Opening Doors to Monthly Donations
About Door-to-Door fundraising
Our Door-to-Door program was designed to reach people in all communities across Ontario. Our fundraisers go house-to-house to inspire people to fight for childhood by making a monthly donation to SickKids. Our monthly donor community provides critical funds to create impact where it’s needed most now, and where it’s needed next. Whether it’s funding research, clinical advances, or compassionate care, monthly giving is a great way to make a bigger impact on our fight to make every kid a healthy kid, everywhere, now and in the future.
Our partner, Globalfaces Direct
SickKids partners with Globalfaces Direct, one of Canada’s largest face-to-face fundraising services. In keeping with Imagine Canada’s Standards Program and best practices for fundraising, our fundraisers are compensated through an hourly wage with no commission. They receive comprehensive training which allows them to speak on behalf of SickKids about our work and fundraising programs. Once you sign up as a new monthly donor, a representative from Globalfaces Direct’s verification centre will speak to you by phone to review the details you’ve provided to our door-to-door fundraiser. You will receive a verification call from the following number: 888-914-0485.
Outbound Calling
In addition to face-to-face fundraising, Globalfaces is calling residents who expressed interest in donating at a later time during past door-to-door interactions. If you receive a phone call from Globalfaces on behalf of SickKids, rest assured these are legitimate representatives calling you. The phone numbers are 833-528-8358, 437-317-3400 and 437-317- 3395. You can also go online and make a donation at sickkidsfoundation.com/gfd.
Face-to-face fundraising represents our most successful way of growing our monthly donor community. Monthly donations, regardless of size, are crucial because it helps us to build long-term relationships with our donors. Giving monthly lets our donors spread out their giving over the course of the year, and provides SickKids with a strong foundation of support that we can count on every month. It also allows us to save on paper and processing, which increases efficiency and sustainability.
SickKids fundraisers can be easily identified by their identification badges (which they should present upon request). They will also be wearing SickKids branded items such as vests, polo shirts and tablet bags. Our fundraisers carry touchless tablets to efficiently collect your contact information only and will never accept cheques or cash at the door.
Once you decide to become a monthly donor, the fundraiser will ask you to fill out a form with your contact information on their tablet, which will be sent to Globalfaces Direct (our vendor) verification centre. You will receive a call from the following number: 833-605-1665 or 888-914-0485. A representative will speak to you over the phone to verify the information received from the tablet and will then ask you for your banking information to complete the sign-up process. A thank you text message will be sent immediately from your door fundraiser followed by an email confirming your donation soon after.
As a new monthly donor you’ll receive:
- A thank you text message from the fundraiser
- An email confirming your donation and introducing our patient Everett, your SickKids welcome buddy
- A package in the mail and a phone call officially welcoming you to the SickKids monthly donor community
- A consolidated receipt for your contributions in the current tax year at the end of February of the following year
- Patient stories and updates about the hospital and the impact of your life-changing donations from Everett and his friends
SickKids Foundation adheres to the Imagine Canada guidelines for compensation in the not-for-profit sector and is an accredited member of their standards program.
