Our Door-to-Door program was designed to reach people in the communities where we are. Our fundraisers go house-to-house to inspire people to support our service men and women by ensuring no military family is left behind. Speaking to donors 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 well-being and include childcare, early learning, after-school and resiliency programs for school-age children, emergency assistance, and food security.
Armed Services YMCA partners with Globalfaces Direct, one of the largest face-to-face fundraising services. In keeping with best practices for fundraising, our fundraisers are compensated through an hourly wage with no commission. They 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 cheques for Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and Credit Cards to set up your monthly donations.
How the process works:
If you have any questions about The Armed Services YMCA or our door-to-door fundraising efforts, please contact our office at 866-4-ASYMCA.
In addition to face-to-face fundraising, Globalfaces 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 Globalfaces on behalf of Armed Services YMCA, rest assured these are legitimate representatives calling you. The phone numbers are 888-664-1920, 619-541-7819, and 984-263-3670. You can also go online to make a donation directly to the Armed Services YMCA San Diego here.
Armed Services YMCA San Diego fundraisers can be easily identified by their identification badges (which they should present upon request). They will also be wearing Armed Services YMCA branded items such as vests, polo shirts, and tablet bags. Our fundraisers carry touchless tablets to collect your contact information only and will never accept checks or cash at the door.
Both our face-to-face fundraisers provide Armed Services YMCA San Diego with a safe and secure method for engaging our community. It is a cost-effective way of raising funds to support our programs at our Murphy Canyon and Horse of the Sun Ranch facilities, and it allows us to connect with donors on an individual level. All Armed Services YMCA San Diego 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, are completely non-commission based, and provide a competitive hourly wage.
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 (our vendor) verification center. You will receive a call from the following number: 833-605-1665 or 888-914-0485. 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 San Diego 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 (858) 751-5755.
