We're growing our fundraising team and looking for outgoing, motivated people who care about animals and want their work to have an impact.

You'll work face-to-face with the public, starting conversations about animal welfare and inspiring people to become monthly donors supporting important nonprofit work.

No fundraising experience is required.

We'll teach you how to fundraise. You bring the personality, resilience, curiosity, and willingness to learn.

This is an active, people-facing job.

You'll spend your shifts working with a fundraising partner or team throughout Los Angeles. You'll approach members of the public, start conversations, explain the campaign you're representing, answer questions, and ask people to become monthly supporters.

You'll learn how to:

Start conversations confidently with strangers

Talk about animal welfare in an engaging and respectful way

Tell compelling stories

Ask directly for support

Handle questions and objections

Work toward clear fundraising goals

Apply coaching and improve your approach

Fair warning: this isn't a desk job.

You'll spend much of your shift outdoors, walking, standing, and talking with people.

Some conversations will be great. Some people won't be interested. You'll hear "no."

The people who do well here learn to reset quickly, stay positive, and keep going.

Your $20/hour starting wage is guaranteed.

You'll also have opportunities to earn daily performance bonuses on top of your hourly wage.

We provide paid training, regular coaching, and support from experienced team leaders. Fundraising is goal-oriented work, so you'll also be expected to apply feedback, remain reliable, and work toward clear performance goals.

If you like challenging yourself, getting better at something, and seeing your results improve, you may really enjoy fundraising.

The nonprofit campaigns our teams represent work on important animal welfare issues.

Depending on the campaign and current priorities, that can include work connected to:

Preventing animal cruelty and suffering

Protecting companion animals

Helping animals affected by disasters

Improving conditions for farmed animals

Protecting wildlife and habitats

Ending harmful practices involving animals

Public education and advocacy

Creating long-term change for animals

You don't need to already be an animal welfare expert.

You do need to care, be willing to learn, and feel comfortable discussing these issues with people from many different backgrounds.

Our teams work at changing outreach locations throughout Los Angeles. You'll need to reliably get to your team's meeting point and be comfortable travelling with your team to different fundraising locations.

You're someone who:

Genuinely cares about animals

Likes meeting and talking with new people

Communicates confidently

Is comfortable starting conversations with strangers

Likes goals and seeing yourself improve

Is reliable and open to feedback

Would rather be active than sit behind a desk all day

Experience in animal welfare, shelters or rescues, advocacy, hospitality, retail, customer service, theatre or performance, sales, fundraising, community organizing, education, or other public-facing work can translate really well.

But experience isn't required.

We want people to feel comfortable being themselves at work.
