Job Description
Face-to-Face Fundraiser / Canvasser $20/hr guaranteed + bonuses | 30-37.5 hours/week | Boston & Cambridge Want a job where you're out in the world, meeting people, and doing work that actually matters? We're growing in Boston! With established offices based in Dorchester and Cambridge , we're looking for outgoing, motivated people who like being around others, want to make an impact, and are ready to build skills they can take with them wherever they go. As a Face-to-Face Fundraiser / Canvasser , you'll be out in the community representing nonprofit organizations and talking with people about causes that matter
- from disaster relief and support for children and families to animal welfare, human rights, and social justice .
Fair warning:
this is definitely not a desk job. You'll spend most of your shift outside, walking, standing, and talking to people face-to-face, rain or shine. If you'd rather be moving around and meeting people than staring at a computer all day, you'll probably like it here. One more thing we want to be upfront about: This is a goal-oriented fundraising job. You'll speak with lots of people each day to inspire them to become monthly donors for the nonprofit you're representing. You'll get paid training, ongoing coaching, and plenty of support from your team, but fundraising can be challenging. You'll hear "no" a lot, and not every conversation turns into a donation. Your performance will be regularly coached and evaluated based on your ability to engage the public and successfully sign up new donors. If you're resilient, motivated by clear goals, open to feedback, and get satisfaction from improving your results, you'll probably enjoy the challenge. Who we're looking for Come as you are. We think work is better when you can actually be yourself. Our team includes members of the LGBTQ+ community , and creating a space where people feel safe, respected, supported, and welcome is genuinely important to us. You don't need fundraising experience- we'll teach you that.
