Door- to- Door Canvassing
WWF-Canada works with a reputable face-to-face agency, TNI (The Network Inc.). TNI canvassers can be easily recognized as they will be wearing WWF-Canada lanyards and have TNI/WWF-Canada photo IDs. Our door- to- door canvassers do not accept cash gifts. For safety and security reasons, only monthly gifts made by chequing or credit card account will be accepted.
If at any time you are unsure about the legitimacy of a fundraiser, please call WWF at 1-800-267-2632 at your earliest convenience.
Can I make a cash gift?
For safety and security reasons, only monthly gifts made by chequing or credit card account will be accepted. If you would like to make a one-time gift, please click here, call us at 1-800-267-2632, or mail us a cheque payable to WWF-Canada.
Why do you need to take a picture of my void cheque?
When a monthly donor chooses to give through automatic withdrawal from their bank account, the banking information at the bottom of the cheque needs to be recorded. The most accurate way to record that information is by taking a picture of the cheque. The banking information is then sent to us through a secured, PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards) compliant process.

To confirm the identity of a canvasser or change your donor preferences, please call our Donor Relations team at 1-800-267-2632, Monday to Friday, between 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. EST.
If you have any comments or concerns, please call us toll free or email ca-donors@wwfcanada.org.
Why does my donation have to be verified over the phone?
We want to verify contact and payment information for accuracy and security. The call also ensures that donors understand the monthly giving program before completing the enrollment. The call only takes about 2-3 minutes but saves us many hours and therefore donor dollars due to avoided data entry errors or misunderstandings.
Is my banking and credit card information safe?
Yes, all data is encrypted using software that is in a PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards) compliant environment. Any data collected on the iPads is completely secure and sent to a secure server. The information does not stay on the iPad, which ensures that your information remains secure and confidential.
Are canvassers paid commission?
No, our canvassers are compensated with an hourly wage as per Imagine Canada guidelines.
Are canvassers volunteers?
