Human Rights & Humanitarian Fundraiser - $20/hr + Bonuses
About The Position
Public Outreach is hiring outgoing, passionate people to join our Boston-area fundraising team. You'll represent leading nonprofit organizations working on issues like humanitarian relief, children's rights, poverty and inequality, civil liberties, and support for communities facing crisis. This is face-to-face fundraising where you'll work with a team in public spaces throughout the Boston area, starting conversations about important causes and inspiring people to become monthly donors. This isn't petitioning or volunteer work; you'll be asking members of the public to financially support nonprofit organizations through monthly donations. Campaign assignments can change, but the purpose remains similar - helping nonprofit organizations build the public support they need to continue their work.
