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

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.
