WFP is the world’s largest humanitarian organization saving lives and changing lives, delivering food assistance in emergencies and working with communities to improve nutrition and build resilience. Every day, over 5,000 WFP-chartered trucks are on the road, supported by around 80 aircraft and 20 ships delivering food and assistance to those in need. Despite our efforts, the needs remain immense and growing, driven by a deadly combination of conflict, climate shocks, economic instability, and forced displacement. As of 2025, over 345 million people face acute food insecurity across 79 countries. To meet these needs and build a more sustainable, predictable, and flexible funding stream, we began investing in growing our individual giving programme in 2019 and, this year will have completed the first phase of our strategy (2020-2025). WFP’s second phase of the private sector strategy for 2025–2030 sets out an ambitious plan to further scale income from individuals, enabling us to reach more people with life-saving assistance. Our approach is digital-first, leveraging global reach and cost-effective tools to engage supporters worldwide. In addition to digital channels we are now expanding into Face-to-Face (F2F) and Direct Response Television (DRTV) fundraising to diversify acquisition and deepen engagement. This centralized, global strategy positions WFP to leapfrog traditional models and build a robust individual giving programme that delivers long-term impact.**INDIVIDUAL FUNDRAISING** WFP’s Individual Giving programme launched in 2019 and has grown into a USD +50 million annual operation, raising over USD 100 million in its first five years. The programme is built around a digital-first strategy, led by a centralized global team that recruits supporters primarily through digital channels. We deliver a multi-lingual, multi-channel supporter experience, designed to offer a best-in-class donor journey. Donors are recruited in English, French, German, Spanish, and Arabic, with additional capabilities in Korean and Chinese. Supporter engagement is delivered through email, SMS, WhatsApp, outbound telephone, and Meta. To expand reach and diversify acquisition, Face-to-Face (F2F) and Direct Response Television (DRTV) fundraising are being introduced as complementary channels in the next phase of our strategy.
