WHY STREET FUNDRAISING?

Simply put, there are multitudes of potential donors who have never been directly asked to support a charity before. We send expertly-trained, motivated fundraisers out on the sidewalk to find people prepared to commit to your organization over the long term. No money changes hands - donations go directly to you through electronic funds transfers or via credit cards.

What are some of the advantages?

• It's low risk. Quite apart from street fundraising's remarkable cost effectiveness, we only charge you for verified donors.
  
  
• It has a proven track record. Face to face fundraising has been popular throughout the UK and Europe for many years now. Gift, as a pioneer, has recruited over 400,000 regular givers alone.
  
  
• Its demographic. Street fundraising can access younger donors that have been traditionally difficult for NPOs to recruit in other ways. 90% of our donors are below 40, and often become active campaigners and lobbyers.
  
  
• The human touch. Nothing is more powerful than a direct request for help from another human being. A few minutes with one of our fundraisers can result in an individual transforming their sympathy for a cause into actual long-term financial support.
  
  
• One size fits all. Face to face fundraising has benefited both household name charities and smaller NPOs - street fundraising is an effective way to get your cause in the public eye however big or small the organization
