Fundraiser

Immigrant and minority rights are under attack. Gas prices have skyrocketed. Grocery prices are through the roof. The time to do something is right now.

Looking to make an impact in NYC through advocacy work, nonprofit fundraising, or community outreach while getting paid? This is your chance.

Public Outreach turns activism into a career with paid training and advancement opportunities. We partner with nonprofits like Amnesty International and the ACLU to raise monthly donations through face-to-face conversations.

We believe real change happens with real people having real conversations.

Our motto is: Honest. Effective. Respectful.

Our teams raise funds through face-to-face outreach with members of the public in community spaces and neighborhoods across the city.

Fundraisers speak with people about important nonprofit campaigns and invite them to become monthly supporters.

Successful fundraisers enjoy:

• Talking with new people throughout the day
• Working in energetic team environments
• Being active and on their feet instead of sitting at a desk

This is a face-to-face outreach role that involves speaking with members of the public throughout the day.

• $20/hour guaranteed starting pay (not commission)
• Regular pay reviews and performance-based raises
• Bonus opportunities
• Paid training from day one
• Benefits eligibility after 3 months for full-time employees
• Paid time off
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Work supporting major humanitarian, environmental, and social justice organizations

Public Outreach strongly believes in promoting from within, with many members of our leadership team starting their careers in the fundraising role.

We offer shifts Monday–Sunday, and ask that team members commit to at least three full 7.5hr shifts per week.

Available shifts:

Monday–Friday: 12:30 PM–8:00 PM

Saturday and Sunday: 7.5-hour shifts with varying start times, typically earlier

• Weekday and weekend shifts available
• Year-round employment

Successful fundraisers on our team tend to be:

• Outgoing and comfortable speaking with new people
• Strong communicators who enjoy social interaction
• Passionate about humanitarian, environmental, or social justice causes
• Positive, reliable, and team-oriented
• Comfortable working outdoors and on their feet

Experience in fundraising, nonprofit work, advocacy, sales, hospitality, customer service, retail, volunteering, activism, education, or other public-facing roles is helpful - but not required.

We are actively interviewing this week and looking for candidates who can start soon.

Successful applicants may begin paid training shortly after being hired.

If you're looking for meaningful work where you can earn $20/hour guaranteed while supporting important nonprofit campaigns, apply today.

Public Outreach is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to building an inclusive and supportive workplace.
