Remote Phone Fundraiser - Western Canada

Remote Phone Fundraiser - Western Canada

$20-$24/hour | Fully Remote | Alberta

Great Communicator? We're Building Our Western Canada Team.

Public Outreach is hiring Remote Phone Fundraisers in Alberta to represent nonprofit organizations working on humanitarian, environmental and social-impact causes.

We're particularly looking for people who can provide reliable afternoon and evening coverage in Western Canada.

This is a fundraising job that happens to be remote - not a casual work-from-home position.

You'll spend your shifts actively speaking with nonprofit supporters, building relationships, asking for monthly donations and working toward clear fundraising goals.

This isn't cold calling, and it isn't commission-only sales.

The people you'll speak with have already interacted with our nonprofit partners through actions such as signing a petition, donating or subscribing to updates.

What You'll Do

You'll:

• Speak with nonprofit supporters by phone

• Have conversations about important humanitarian, environmental and social issues

• Turn complex issues into clear, compelling stories

• Build rapport and connection using your voice

• Ask supporters to become long-term monthly donors

• Handle questions, concerns and rejection professionally

• Work toward clear individual and team goals

• Participate in regular coaching and skill development

We're Looking for Western-Hours Availability

Our fundraising shifts are scheduled between 11 AM and 9 PM in your local time, Monday-Friday.

We're currently building additional coverage later in the day, so we're especially interested in candidates who can reliably work afternoon and evening shifts when scheduled.

Consistent availability matters.

Before You Apply - Check Your Technology

You must have:

• A desktop or laptop running Windows 11 or newer

• Minimum 50 Mbps download / 30 Mbps upload internet

• A wired headset with microphone

• A quiet, private workspace

• Reliable high-speed internet - wired Ethernet strongly preferred

• Basic technical confidence and troubleshooting ability

MacBooks are not compatible with our calling system.

You'll complete an internet speed and voice connection test during the hiring process.

Please make sure you meet these requirements before applying.

Who Thrives in Fundraising?

You don't need previous fundraising experience.

You may come from hospitality, customer service, sales, theatre, communications, education, advocacy, public speaking or another people-focused background.

We're interested in people who:

• Love talking to people

• Communicate with warmth and confidence

• Can make a story interesting

• Can persuade without being pushy

• Care about important social issues

• Don't fall apart after hearing "no"

• Enjoy goals and improving their performance

• Respond well to coaching

• Can stay focused and accountable while working remotely

Your Voice Is Your Tool

Phone fundraising requires more than reading a script.

You need to communicate personality, empathy, confidence, humour and urgency without relying on body language.

As part of the application process, we'll ask you to submit a short voice or video introduction so we can get a sense of how you communicate.

Compensation & Growth

Guaranteed hourly wage - not commission.

• $20-$24/hour

• $20/hour starting rate

• Opportunities for hourly increases based on hours worked, performance and consistency

• Performance bonuses and incentives

• Paid training

• Paid time off

• Benefits after 6 months of full-time employment

• Opportunities for advancement

Schedule

• Minimum 32 hours per week

• Four 8-hour shifts minimum

• Monday-Friday

• Shifts between 11 AM and 9 PM in your local time

• Afternoon/evening availability especially valuable

• No weekend work to start

Strong part-time candidates may occasionally be considered, but our primary need is consistent 32+ hour availability.

Work From Home - But Be Part of a Team

Remote doesn't mean disconnected.

You'll receive ongoing coaching, feedback, workshops and support from experienced fundraisers while developing your ability to turn conversations into action.

If you're a strong communicator looking for meaningful, goal-oriented work from home, we'd love to hear from you.

Public Outreach is an equal opportunity employer. Applicants from all backgrounds are welcome, and accommodations are available throughout the hiring process.
