Turn Conversations Into Action

Are you someone who can talk to almost anyone, tell a great story and get genuinely excited about something you care about?

Public Outreach is hiring Remote Phone Fundraisers to represent nonprofit organizations working on important humanitarian, environmental and social-impact causes.

This is a fundraising job that happens to be remote - not a casual work-from-home position.

You’ll spend your shifts actively speaking with nonprofit supporters, building connections, asking for monthly donations and working toward clear fundraising goals.

This isn't cold calling, and it isn't commission-only sales.

You’ll speak with people who have already interacted with our nonprofit partners - whether they’ve signed a petition, donated, subscribed to updates or otherwise shown an interest in the cause.

What You’ll Do

You’ll:

Speak with nonprofit supporters across Canada

Have meaningful conversations about social, environmental and humanitarian issues

Tell stories and explain why a cause matters

Build trust and connection using your voice

Ask supporters to become long-term monthly donors

Respond thoughtfully to questions, concerns and rejection

Work toward clear fundraising goals

Participate in regular coaching, workshops and feedback

Continuously develop your communication and fundraising skills

This Is a Performance Role

Fundraising isn't always easy.

You’ll hear “no” much more often than “yes.”

The people who thrive here are resilient communicators who can stay warm, confident and enthusiastic even after a difficult conversation.

We use ethical, respectful fundraising practices. We’re not looking for aggressive sales tactics. We’re looking for people who can genuinely connect with others and make a compelling case for something they believe in.

Before You Apply - Check Your Technology

Because you’ll be making real-time fundraising calls from home, your setup is essential.

You must have:

A desktop or laptop running Windows 11 or newer

Reliable high-speed internet with at least 50 Mbps download / 30 Mbps upload

A wired headset with microphone

A private, quiet workspace where you can take calls without interruption

A reliable internet connection - wired Ethernet is strongly preferred

Basic technical confidence and the ability to troubleshoot simple issues independently

MacBooks are unfortunately not compatible with our calling system.

You’ll complete a technology check during the hiring process, including an internet speed and voice connection test.

If you don’t currently have access to a Windows 11+ computer and reliable high-speed internet, this role won’t be the right fit.

You Might Be a Great Fit If…

Experience in communications, advocacy, theatre, performing arts, education, hospitality, customer service, public speaking, sales or community work can translate especially well.

What matters most is that you:

Are a confident and engaging communicator

Can tell a story and make someone care about it

Enjoy talking with different kinds of people

Can persuade someone without being pushy

Care about social, environmental or humanitarian issues

Are comfortable hearing “no” and moving forward

Are motivated by goals

Take coaching well

Can work independently and reliably from home

Unlike face-to-face fundraising, you can’t rely on body language or a handshake.

Your voice is your tool.

Strong phone fundraisers communicate warmth, trust, confidence, humour, urgency and passion through conversation alone.

As part of our application process, we’ll ask you to submit a short voice or video introduction. No professional recording is required - we simply want to hear how you communicate.

Compensation & Growth

This is a guaranteed hourly wage - not commission.

$19-$24/hour

Starting rate: $19/hour

Regular opportunities to increase your hourly rate based on hours worked, performance and consistency

Performance-based bonuses and incentives

Paid training

Paid time off

Benefits after 6 months of full-time employment

Opportunities to progress from Fundraiser into more senior roles

Strong performers can earn more as they build experience and consistently meet their goals.

Schedule

We’re primarily looking for people who can commit to a consistent schedule.

Minimum 32 hours per week

Four 8-hour shifts minimum

Monday-Friday

Shifts scheduled between 11 AM and 9 PM in your local time

Strong part-time candidates may be considered in some circumstances, but our primary need is for people who can commit to 32+ hours per week.

Why Public Outreach?

Fundraising is a skill that can be developed.

You’ll receive paid training, ongoing coaching, workshops and regular feedback while working toward clear goals with a team supporting you.

Most importantly, you’ll use your communication skills to help nonprofit organizations build the long-term support they need to create change.

If you care about important causes, love talking to people and want to get really good at turning conversations into action, we’d love to hear from you.

Public Outreach is an equal opportunity employer. Applicants from all backgrounds are welcome, and accommodations are available throughout the hiring process.
