Face-to-face fundraising

You might see fundraisers representing CARE on a street corner in your local area or going door-to-door in your neighborhood. These are our face-to-face canvassers in action. We build awareness and raise critical funds through these person-to-person conversations.

If you have talked with one of our fundraisers, we hope you learned something new about CARE. And, if you have donated, thank you so much for your generous support. Your support is saving lives and helping millions of people find the way to a better life worldwide.

Partners for Change

Partners for Change are special supporters who commit to a monthly, quarterly, or annual automatic contribution. This support provides lifesaving support for women and families around the world, all year long. They know they can count on Partners for Change to help consistently, over time.

Who are Partners for Change?

CARE works in 121 countries, responding to crisis, supporting communities, saving lives, and providing hope every day.

Partners for Change make this work possible. With disasters, conflict, disease, hunger, and poverty affecting millions, CARE relies on committed donors providing regular, ongoing support to respond quickly and stay longer.

This monthly support helps CARE:

  • Provide immediate relief for children and families during crisis-basic needs like fresh water, nutritious food, and safe shelter.
  • Secure and distribute medical supplies so people have access to first aid and help when they need it most.
  • Ensure those who have had to flee their homes can access blankets, mattresses, clothing, and more for their families.
  • Impact millions of lives around the world and provide hope in desperate times.
