Job Description
Remote Phone Fundraiser - Human Rights & Nonprofit Causes
$19-$24/hour | 40 Hours/Week | Fully Remote
Use Your Voice for Human Rights
Can you take an issue you care about and make someone else understand why it matters?
Public Outreach is building a new U.S. remote fundraising team, and we're looking for
full-time Phone Fundraisers.
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
Campaign assignments can change, so future work may involve different nonprofit causes.
This is not cold calling. Your $19 starting wage is guaranteed - this is not commission-only sales.
What You'll Do
You'll:
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.
They listen.
They adapt.
They can 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.
This Is a Full-Time Position
We're currently building a small, reliable U.S. team.
You must be able to consistently commit to 40 hours per week.
Fundraising shifts take place Monday-Friday and are scheduled within our calling windows.
This isn't intended as casual remote work or a side job. We're looking for people who want to develop professionally, become strong fundraisers and contribute consistently to the team.
Before You Apply - Check Your Technology
Working remotely requires the right setup.
You must have:
A desktop or laptop running Windows 11 or newer
Reliable high-speed internet with at least 50 Mbps download / 30 Mbps upload
Wired headset with microphone
Private, quiet workspace
Reliable internet - wired Ethernet strongly preferred
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.
You Might Be a Great Fit If...
You:
Are a 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
Are comfortable making a direct fundraising ask
Can persuade without pressuring
Are 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.
Your Voice Is Your Tool
You won't have body language or a handshake to help build a connection.
Strong phone fundraisers use their voice to communicate warmth, confidence, urgency, empathy and conviction.
As part of the application process, we'll ask you to submit a short voice or video introduction.
No professional recording is required. We want to hear who you are, how you communicate and what you're passionate about.

$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.
