Fundraiser - $20/hr - Great for Students & Creatives
About The Position
Public Outreach is hiring fundraisers to join our Denver team and represent major nonprofit organizations working on humanitarian aid, human rights, social impact, and support for communities around the world. This role can be a great fit for students, recent graduates, performers, creatives, hospitality workers, and other strong communicators looking for meaningful work while building skills they can take with them wherever they go. No fundraising experience is required. We provide paid training, ongoing coaching, and plenty of support while you learn. This is face-to-face fundraising - not an office job. You'll work throughout the city, speaking with members of the public about the nonprofit campaign you're representing and inviting people to support that work by becoming monthly donors. Depending on the campaign and team, you may work through street fundraising or door-to-door outreach. Fundraising takes confidence, resilience, and the ability to reset and try again. Your hourly wage is guaranteed, but fundraising performance still matters. You'll receive coaching, support, and clear goals to help you improve.
