It’s a common question! Simply put: Charities are experts at their mission, and we are experts at people. By partnering with us, they can focus their energy on their cause while we focus on growing their community of supporters.

1. We provide "Sustainable" Income

Most charities rely on one-time donations, which are unpredictable. We specialize in recurring (monthly) giving. These reliable "subscriptions" allow charities to plan major projects, like building schools or funding long-term research, years into the future.

2. Efficiency and Scale

For a charity to hire, train, and manage hundreds of fundraisers in multiple cities would be incredibly expensive and time-consuming. We provide a "ready-to-go" professional team, allowing the charity to reach thousands of potential donors immediately without the overhead costs.

3. No Risk for the Charity

We usually operate on a "Pay-for-Performance" model. This means the charity only pays for the actual donors we sign up. If we don’t deliver, they don’t pay. This protects the charity’s budget and ensures their money is always spent effectively.

4. The Power of Conversation

In a world of digital ads and junk mail, people crave human connection. A face-to-face conversation creates a much stronger bond between the donor and the cause, leading to supporters who stay committed for much longer than those who sign up via a "click."

Summary for applicants: Your role is to be the professional face of the charity. You aren't just "fundraising"—you are providing the financial stability the charity needs to change the world.

While many companies do face-to-face fundraising, Sunspark is built on the belief that a donor isn’t just a number—they are a long-term partner for the charity. Here is what sets us apart:

1. Data-Driven "Smart" Canvassing

We don’t just send you to a random street corner. We use location insights and demographic trends to ensure our teams are in the right place at the right time. This means more meaningful conversations and less "rejection" for our fundraisers.

2. A Multi-Channel Approach

We are more than just "people on the street." SunSpark integrates:

• Face-to-Face: The initial connection.

• Personal Touch: Welcome calls to ensure every donor feels valued from day one.

3. Radical Transparency

We operate an "open door" policy. Our charity partners are encouraged to visit our offices or join our teams in the field. This level of honesty builds stronger trust and ensures that the passion we show in the field matches the mission of the charity.

4. Professional Development (The "Spark" Culture)

For our applicants, we don't just offer a "job"—we offer a communication masterclass.

• Training: We focus on emotional intelligence and storytelling, not high-pressure scripts.

• Growth: Many of our leadership team started as canvassers. We prioritize internal promotion for those who show they can inspire others.

5. Ethical Standards

We hold ourselves to the highest regulatory standards. We use secure, encrypted technology (no paper forms) to protect donor data and ensure that every interaction is respectful, whether the person chooses to donate or not.

We start all of our fundraisers at $19 per hour in their first two weeks or 10 shifts fundraising. After this initial period fundraisers are bumped to $21 per hour plus bonuses and commissions.

Our teams currently operate in 8 cities across Canada including Kitchener ON, Toronto ON, London ON, Brampton ON, Calgary AB, Victoria BC, Vancouver BC and Kelowna BC.

Our teams operate in retail, streets, events and door to door.

Yes we are always looking to grow our teams! If you believe you have the experience and what it takes to manage a face to face fundraising team please email us directly at info@sunsparkcanvassing.com
