[Hiring] Phone Fundraiser @Public Outreach Consultancy Inc

Role Description

Public Outreach is building a new U.S. remote fundraising team, and we're looking for full-time Phone Fundraisers in Colorado. You'll speak with people who have already shown an interest in nonprofit and human-rights causes and turn that interest into meaningful conversations and long-term monthly support.

Your initial fundraising work may involve issues such as:

• Refugee and migrant rights
• Civil liberties and human rights
• Discrimination and equality
• Reproductive rights
• Communities affected by conflict or displacement
• Humanitarian aid
• Support for children and families

This is not cold calling. Your $19 starting wage is guaranteed - this is not commission-only sales.

What You'll Do:

• Speak with nonprofit supporters by phone
• Discuss serious social and human-rights issues with empathy and confidence
• Ask questions and build genuine rapport
• Turn complex issues into understandable, compelling stories
• Explain how nonprofit organizations are taking action
• Ask supporters to become long-term monthly donors
• Respond thoughtfully to questions, concerns and objections
• Work toward clear fundraising goals
• Participate in ongoing coaching, workshops and feedback

Fundraising Is Part Advocacy, Part Storytelling and Part Ask. You don't need previous fundraising experience. But you do need to be comfortable talking about important issues and directly asking someone to support the work financially.

Strong fundraisers can:

• Communicate conviction without becoming aggressive
• Listen
• Adapt
• Have a difficult conversation, hear "no" and approach the next call with the same energy

We provide paid training and ongoing coaching to help you develop those skills.

Qualifications

• Confident and engaging communicator
• Care about human rights, humanitarian issues or social impact
• Can talk about serious subjects with empathy and maturity
• Can tell a story that keeps someone's attention
• Comfortable making a direct fundraising ask
• Can persuade without pressuring
• Resilient when you hear "no"
• Like working toward measurable goals
• Take coaching and feedback seriously
• Can remain focused and accountable while working remotely

Experience in advocacy, communications, theatre, education, hospitality, customer service, sales, public speaking, community organizing or nonprofit work can translate particularly well.

Working remotely requires the right setup. You must have:

• A desktop or laptop running Windows 11 or newer

• Wired headset with microphone
• Private, quiet workspace

• Basic technical confidence and ability to troubleshoot simple issues

MacBooks are 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 the required computer and internet setup, you won't be able to move forward.

Compensation & Growth

• Guaranteed hourly wage - not commission
• $19-$24/hour
• Starting rate: $19/hour
• 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 3 months of full-time employment
• Opportunities for professional growth and advancement
• Strong performers can earn more as they develop their fundraising skills and consistently meet their goals.
