Fundraiser - $20/hr Guaranteed - Flexible for Actors & Creatives - New Jersey (North Jersey Field Teams)

We’re hiring fundraisers in New Jersey to represent major nonprofit organizations working on humanitarian, environmental, and social justice campaigns.

This role is especially popular with actors, comedians, musicians, dancers, writers, and other creatives. It offers a stable hourly income while leaving room for auditions, rehearsals, gigs, and creative work.

Many successful team members come from performing arts programs such as NYU, Rutgers University, Montclair State University, The New School, AMDA College of the Performing Arts, and other arts-focused training programs.

No experience is required - we’re looking for outgoing people who enjoy talking with others and building connections.

If you enjoy performing, communicating ideas, and engaging with people, this role can be a great fit.

What the Job Involves

Our teams raise funds through face-to-face outreach with members of the public in high-traffic neighborhoods, community spaces, and outdoor areas throughout New Jersey.

Team members typically meet at designated North Jersey meetup locations each day before traveling together to assigned field sites.

Fundraisers speak with people about important nonprofit campaigns and invite them to become monthly supporters.

Many people with performing arts backgrounds thrive in this role because it involves:

• Talking with new people throughout the day

• Confident communication and storytelling

• Working in energetic team environments

This is a face-to-face outreach role that involves speaking with members of the public throughout the day.
