OPENING DOORS TO MONTHLY DONATIONS

About Door-to-Door Fundraising

Our monthly donor campaign was to inspire people to support our service men and women by ensuring no military family is left behind. Our fundraisers sometimes go door-to-door or set up a booth outside of a shopping center or at busy intersections to engage donors about our mission.  Speaking to folks one-on-one allows donors to ask questions and learn more about our programs in a way that we could not offer without our partners.

Service members sacrifice daily for our freedom. Relocations, deployments, and frequent training in the field present unique challenges for military families, impacting spousal employment opportunities, family bonding, and financial well-being. At times, they struggle to fully provide the basics for themselves or their families.

Our sustaining donor community provides critical funds to create impact where it’s needed most: programs and services to address the unique challenges of military life. These critical services support whole-family wellbeing and include childcare, early learning, after-school and resiliency programs for school-age children, emergency assistance, and food security.

 

Our Partners, Globalfaces Direct and GiveBridge

Armed Services YMCA partners with Globalfaces Direct and GiveBridge, two of the largest face-to-face fundraising services. In keeping with best practices for fundraising, our fundraisers receive comprehensive training which allows them to speak on behalf of Armed Services YMCA about our work and fundraising programs.

Our fundraisers will invite you to take part in the Foundation’s monthly donation program and WILL NOT accept, nor ask for cash. We will accept void checks for Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and Credit Cards to set up your monthly donations.

How the process works:

  • Our fundraiser will enter and submit your information into the secure tablet and then call into our Telephone Verification Center.
  • The agent on the phone will proceed to confirm your information on a secure recorded line and process your first donation on the spot!
  • Within 24-48 hours you will receive a Confirmation Email from The Armed Services YMCA noting your donation details.

If you have any questions about The Armed Services YMCA or our door-to-door fundraising efforts, please contact our office at 855-GIV-ASYMCA (855-448-2796).  You may also email us at donation@asymca.org.

 

Outbound Calling

In addition to face-to-face fundraising, ASYMCA is calling residents who expressed interest in donating at a later time during past door-to-door interactions.  If you receive a phone call from Global Faces on behalf of Armed Services YMCA, rest assured these are legitimate representatives calling you.  You can also go online to make a donation at https://give.asymca.org/inspire.

Door-to-Door Program FAQs

Both our face-to-face fundraiser agencies provide Armed Services YMCA with a safe and secure method for engaging folks in their communities. It is a cost-effective way of raising funds to support our programs across 89 military installations, and it allows us to connect with donors on an individual level. All Armed Services YMCA external fundraising agencies are expected to engage in honest, respectful, and effective fundraising to ensure results for military families, and an enjoyable work experience for their employees. They are expected to follow strict quality guidelines set by Armed Services YMCA.

Once you decide to become a monthly donor, the fundraiser will ask you to fill out a form with your contact information on their tablet, which will be sent to Globalfaces Direct or Givebridge’s (our vendors) verification center. You will receive a call and a representative will speak to you over the phone to verify the information received from the tablet and will then ask you for your banking information to complete the sign-up process. An email will be sent immediately confirming your donation.

All information collected to become an Armed Services YMCA donor is used directly for tax receipting purposes and to update our donors on how their donations are making an impact. All information will remain confidential and will not be shared with any other organization. Your contact preference can be changed at any time simply by calling us at 855-GIV-ASYMCA (855-448-2796).
