SOS canvassers in your neighbourhood
In 2026, SOS Children’s Villages Canada is continuing to connect with caring Canadians through face-to-face fundraising! You might spot our friendly fundraisers in bustling public areas, grocery stores or even in your neighbourhood.
We’re teaming up with SunSpark, GiveBridge and UP Fundraising, three of Canada’s most trusted face-to-face fundraising organizations. They’ve been carefully vetted to ensure they meet the highest ethical and regulatory standards.
This campaign is all about growing our community of monthly donors and spreading the word about the life-changing work of SOS Children’s Villages worldwide. If you see our team out and about, stop by and say hi – we’d love to share our mission with you!
How do I identify an SOS Children’s Villages Canada canvasser?
Each of our canvassers will have the following identifiable collateral;
An identification badge that states the canvasser's name and identification number. This badge should be attached to an SOS-branded lanyard. If the fundraiser is in training, their badge may state “Trainee” in place of their name.
An SOS blue vest branded with SOS Children’s Villages logo.
An SOS canvasser will NEVER ask for or accept cash donations.
An SOS canvasser will process information through a handheld device or an iPad.
- You will receive a welcome call within 24–48 hours of signing up to confirm your information and your intention to make a monthly donation.
To collect your payment information safely, our partner uses verification calls, in which an agent at the confirmation centre will verify your personal information.
