Professional Fundraiser - Performance Incentives & Career Growth

Toronto, ON, CA

A Job That Fits Your Life. A Career That Can Grow With You.

There's more to life than work, and we think that's a good thing.

Maybe you're an artist, a performer, a student, or someone with passions and ambitions outside your job. Maybe you're looking for steady employment, a supportive team, and an opportunity to build a career.

At Public Outreach, we value individuality, reliability, and the different experiences our team members bring to work.

We're hiring outgoing, motivated individuals to join our Toronto street and door-to-door fundraising teams, representing nonprofit organizations working in mental health, healthcare, humanitarian relief, and human rights.

You’ll start conversations with members of the public, share why these causes matter, and inspire individuals to become monthly donors.

We offer flexibility in choosing your shifts, with the expectation that you commit to each scheduled shift from start to finish.

No fundraising experience required. Paid training provided.

Pay, Benefits & Career Growth

• $19/hour guaranteed to start - not commission-based




• $20/hour after passing your evaluation




• Daily performance incentives and bonus opportunities




• Opportunities for pay reviews and advancement into higher-paying leadership roles




• Paid training and ongoing coaching




• Health benefits after six months for eligible full-time employees




• Paid time off, sick pay, and Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Our leaders started in the same fundraising position we're hiring for today. We promote from within and recognize consistent performance, initiative, and a willingness to learn.

What You’ll Do

• Start conversations with members of the public




• Represent nonprofit organizations and share their missions




• Inspire individuals to become monthly donors




• Work toward individual and team fundraising goals




• Develop communication, confidence, and public-speaking skills

This is an active, outdoor position involving standing, walking, and working in different weather conditions throughout the year.

Our office and training location is in downtown Toronto, near Spadina Avenue and Dundas Street West.

Schedule & Availability

Full-time availability preferred. Part-time applicants welcome.

• Minimum 3 complete shifts per week, including at least 1 weekday




• Daytime and evening shifts available, depending on team assignments




• Flexible scheduling based on available team shifts




• Reliable attendance and full-shift commitment are essential




• Additional shifts may be available depending on operational needs

Team assignments and specific shift times will be discussed during the interview process.

We respect your commitments outside work and ask that you bring that same commitment to the shifts you schedule.

Who We’re Looking For

• Comfortable starting conversations with strangers




• Strong verbal communication skills in English




• Reliable, punctual, and open to feedback




• Resilient when facing rejection




• Comfortable working outdoors throughout the year




• Available to start soon

Experience in performing arts, hospitality, customer service, sales, education, or community outreach is an asset, but not required.
