B2B in Face to Face Fundraising: Unlocking New Opportunities
Theme: Global Trends and Best Practices
Level: Beginners & Advanced
Face to Face fundraising has traditionally focused on engaging individual donors in public spaces, street, D2D, or at events. However, the B2B approach expands this strategy by engaging small businesses and local shops – not only to turn their owners and employees into individual donors but also to encourage the businesses themselves to contribute. At SOS Children’s Villages, B2B F2F is gaining momentum, with several countries in Latin America leading the way and the trend now expanding into Europe. In this presentation, we’ll dive into the numbers, share real-world examples, and explore this approach and how it still has significant room for growth. Join us to learn how B2B F2F can enhance and diversify your fundraising efforts.
