Background

It’s vital that the community sees this campaign as 1) Efficient and 2) Respectful.
There’s a lot of deep thought underlying this campaign, and it’s all documented in detail in the Canvasser’s FAQs. Please read as much as interests you.

Instructions

Charlie will send you links to two lists on the Web that together contain everyone who hasn’t donated to the Beacon this year
- List 1: Have donated to the Beacon before, but not yet this year
- List 2: Have never donated to the Beacon
Go to the two lists of potential donors and pick the people you’re comfortable canvassing
- Pick as many or as few as you can realistically handle during October
Very important: Only approach the people on your list!
E-mail; letter; phone call; knock on their door; run into them around town
- This sample e-mail gives you a good, succinct “ask”
The Leave-Behind document is invaluable for you and for them
- Print your own on bright yellow paper (which we can provide), or we’ll print them for you
The Take-Away document is for our record-keeping
- Keep track of how you contact each person and when they say they’ll donate
