No prior experience? No problem. We offer comprehensive paid training and ongoing mentorship to set you up for success.

About the Role

As a Fundraising Events Assistant, you’ll represent nonprofit initiatives at live, in-person events. This is a face-to-face role focused on community engagement, event support, and donor outreach — not a remote or call center position.

  • Engage attendees in friendly, informative conversations

  • Communicate campaign goals and answer questions clearly

  • Distribute promotional materials and event resources

  • Collaborate with team members to achieve fundraising targets

  • Maintain a professional and enthusiastic presence at all events

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills

  • Comfortable working with the public in an event setting

  • Reliable, team-focused, and open to coaching

  • Positive attitude and strong work ethic

  • Full-time availability

Helpful but not required experience:
Customer service, retail, hospitality, promotional work, sales, or event support.

What We Offer

  • Immediate full-time employment

  • Competitive weekly pay

  • Paid, hands-on training program

  • Performance-based bonus incentives

  • Medical, dental, and vision benefits

  • Clear advancement paths into leadership and event management

  • A collaborative, supportive team environment
