About Us

Public Outreach was founded in 2002 by passionate Greenpeace canvassers who believed fundraisers deserve fairness a reliable base salary, not commission.

Since then, weve become one of North Americas leading ethical fundraising agencies, specializing in connecting people with charities through honest, respectful, and effective conversations. We build sustainable monthly donor programs that fund long-term change for causes that matter.

Were guided by three core values:

  • Honesty: No commission-based pay, just transparent, ethical fundraising built on trust.

  • Respect: A workplace rooted in inclusion, anti-oppression, and genuine care for one another.

  • Results: Were goal-driven and growth-minded, but we measure success through long-term impact and supportive coachingnot pressure.



Why You'll Love This Role

As a Fundraiser, youll build one of the most valuable skills in any career: communication. Every day, youll connect face-to-face with people, inspire action, and make a real impact for causes that matter.

Youll spend your days outdoors, surrounded by fresh air and new scenery, working with a supportive, passionate team that values creativity, growth, and genuine connection.

Whether youre between gigs, exploring new opportunities, or looking to supplement your income, this role offers the perfect balance of flexibility, consistency, and purpose. Its a chance to align your work with your values, grow your confidence, and help build a more compassionate, sustainable world.

What to Expect

No two days are the same. Explore new neighborhoods and connect with the community. Youll inspire people to become monthly donors supporting environmental protection, human rights, and humanitarian aid.

Youll always have support. From day one, youll receive paid training, ongoing coaching, mentorship, and continuous skill development. Youll work closely with a team that values growth and authenticity and youre never alone in the field.

A typical day: Your team meets at a central location accessible by public transit before heading out together to your fundraising site. Carpooling is often coordinated, but its your responsibility to ensure you can commute each day.

If you thrive on human connection, enjoy variety, and want your work to mean something, join Public Outreachs Fundraising team.

  • Guaranteed starting rate of $20/hour (not commission-based)

  • Performance incentives for hitting goals

  • Year-round employment with stable hours and flexible scheduling options

  • Benefits after 3 months of consistent employment

  • Paid time off

Career Growth

At Public Outreach, we believe in developing our staff. Whether youre just starting out or building a long-term career in the nonprofit world, youll find plenty of opportunities to advance.
Many of our fundraisers have gone on to work directly with the charities they once represented. Youll gain firsthand experience in nonprofit operations, donor relations, and ethical fundraising.
