Face-to-Face Fundraiser / Canvasser - Start This Week

$19/hr to start - $20/hr after initial evaluation + bonuses | 21-35 hours/week |Edmonton

Want a job where you're out in the world, meeting people, and doing work that actually matters?

We're hiring Face-to-Face Fundraisers / Canvassers in Edmonton to represent leading nonprofit organizations and have meaningful conversations with people in the community.

You'll work on one of our face-to-face fundraising teams - approaching people in busy public spaces or speaking with people at their homes - starting conversations about important causes and inspiring people to get involved by becoming monthly donors.

The causes our teams represent can include disaster relief, support for children and families, animal welfare, human rights, environmental issues, and social justice .

If you're social, energetic, and looking for work that's active, meaningful, and lets you meet people, you might be a great fit.

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.

This is a goal-oriented fundraising job.

You'll speak with lots of people each day, explain the work of the nonprofit you're representing, and ask people to support the cause by becoming monthly donors.

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.

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 to check every box or come with fundraising experience. If you're someone who likes people, cares about making a difference, can handle hearing "no," and is motivated to improve with coaching, we'd love to hear from you.

This could be a great fit if you're a canvasser, community organizer, student, recent graduate, hospitality or customer service professional, salesperson, retail worker, volunteer, educator, performer, or someone looking to break into the nonprofit world.
