Why face-to-face?

You may get a chance to meet one of our amazing Children International representatives in your own city! Face-to-face fundraising is a personal way to share information about our life-changing programs in a cost-effective way, which allows us to put more money toward bringing real and lasting change to kids living in poverty.

If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor, but unsure about giving your information to a face-to-face fundraiser — we understand. Here are a few tips to help you spot one of our representatives.

“Knowing I have the ability to make life better for somebody else is a powerful thing. ‘I helped them do that. I actually made a difference.’ It’s an amazing feeling.”

– Shannon D., CI sponsor since 1997
