What is Greenpeace?
Greenpeace is a not-for-profit campaigning organization that uses peaceful direct action, political lobbying, scientific research and market pressure to expose global problems. We also research solutions and alternatives that are essential to a green and peaceful future. This helps us even more to highlight ecological problems and strengthen our environmental practice across the Globe.
Your role as a Greenpeace Fundraiser
The primary functions of the Greenpeace Direct Dialogue Fundraiser are to approach members of the public, engage in conversation about Greenpeace’s campaigns, and to solicit support for Greenpeace. New Frontline members can donate to Greenpeace via chequing account, Mastercard or VISA. We do not accept cash donations. Canvassers are required to average a minimum standard over two-week periods.
We have two Frontline programs: Door-to-door and Street.
