ABOUT
The Professional Face-to-Face Fundraising Association (PFFA) is a nonprofit organization formed by leading non-profit organizations (NPO) and professional fundraising agencies (PFA) to ensure sustainable face-to-face fundraising practice. Since 2015, PFFA participants have been working toward this mission.
Face-to-face fundraising is growing in importance as non-profits look for new ways to engage and inspire new donors. More than 350,000 new regular donors pledge to NPOs every year through face-to-face fundraising activities: street, door-to-door, retail and private event fundraising or canvassing. These donors contribute hundreds of millions of dollars to NPOs' critical mission-related work.
