There’s a quiet shift happening in donor expectations: empathy is becoming the new currency of trust. Digital metrics tell us who clicks. Conversations tell us why they care. When a fundraiser listens first, three things happen: 1️⃣ Barriers drop. Donors speak about values, not just wallets. 2️⃣ Stories deepen. Shared moments replace generic pitches. 3️⃣ Commitment rises. People back missions that mirror their own lived experiences. At Globalfaces, we coach our teams to spend more time asking “What inspired you to open the door?” than “Can you give today?” The result? Higher retention, stronger advocacy, and campaigns that feel less like transactions and more like partnerships. Maybe the next big fundraising “hack” isn’t AI, automation, or omnichannel funnels. Maybe it’s simply turning curiosity into community. How do you weave empathy into your donor journey? Let’s compare notes. 👇

We’re taking a moment to reflect on the impact we’ve made together last month in June (and it was our biggest June EVER). Here’s a look at what we accomplished, thanks to our incredible teams, partners, and donors: 💙 Nearly 20,000 sustainers acquired across North America 🤝 40 dedicated charity partners represented 🚪 Just under 1,000 active canvassers 💬 650,000+ genuine conversations with potential supporters 🌍 Hundreds of communities reached across Canada and the US This month reminded us: meaningful fundraising doesn’t just happen. It’s built, every single day, by passionate people showing up with heart and purpose. To our teams, our partners, and every donor who opened their door (or their mind): thank you.

Trust is the bedrock of sustainable fundraising—but where does it spark first? Cast your vote ⬇️ then share a quick story in comments about a time you felt donor trust shift from curiosity to commitment.

We’re looking forward to reconnecting with peers across the fundraising sector at Bridge 2025, taking place July 31 - August 1 at the Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center in National Harbor, MD. Globalfaces is proud to return as a Silver Sponsor of the PFFA Summer Work Group, happening Tuesday, July 29 at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) offices in Washington, DC. This gathering brings together leaders in face-to-face fundraising to exchange insights, tackle shared challenges, and advance best practices across our field. You’ll also find us in the Bridge Conference Exhibitor Hall at our newly redesigned booth (booth #303), first unveiled at AFP Fundraising Day in NYC. We designed it with one goal in mind: sparking real conversations that lead to meaningful partnerships. And of course, we’ll be co-sponsoring one of the week’s most anticipated networking events: 🌮 Tacos & Tequila on Thursday, July 31, co-hosted with our friends at TrueSense Marketing, Care2, and Engaging Networks. Don’t miss it! RSVP here: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/g9-ZVj-a Whether you're attending the PFFA session, Bridge itself, or just looking to connect, we’d love to see you in DC.

We’re proud to support organizations that are making a real difference. One donor, one conversation, one campaign at a time. Recently, we partnered with Pacific Salmon Foundation, an organization dedicated to making transformational change for the benefit of Pacific salmon at every scale – from the smallest streams to the open ocean. Through a targeted face-to-face fundraising campaign, we helped them: 📍 Reach new communities across British Columbia 💬 Spark thousands of authentic donor conversations 💸 Drive sustainable monthly giving 🤝 Build meaningful, mission-aligned relationships Behind every door knocked and every story shared was a team fuelled by purpose and passion. This is what fundraising looks like when it’s built on trust—and rooted in connection. To our partners at Pacific Salmon Foundation: thank you for trusting us with your mission. We're honoured to help carry it forward. #Globalfaces #PartnerHighlight #ClientSuccess #FaceToFaceFundraising #NonprofitPartnerships #AuthenticEngagement #SocialImpact

It's not persuasion. It's not urgency. It's curiosity. Great fundraisers ask better questions: - What made you stop and talk today? - What issues do you care about most? - What made you give in the past? When we lead with curiosity, we earn trust.
