Campaigning With Donor Direct

Donor Direct Fundraising campaigners petition in public venues such as malls and on street corners, as well as on the telephone.

Donor Direct Fundraising's team are like-minded individuals who know that providing professional representation of social and environmental causes is about having a passionate interest and self-motivated integrity.

Our campaigners are there to assist members of the public in making monthly pledges, which go to developing the services of the charity/NGO. There are two main aspects to the role of a campaigner. One is to conduct public awareness and the other is to fundraise.

The campaigner raises the profile of the organization by communicating their cause in a creative and energetic way. The fundraising element is then introduced to secure ongoing commitment to the organization in the form of a monthly gift using personal banking accounts or credit cards, which ensures that the organization can continue providing its services in a sustainable manner.

Relationships are built between campaigners and the organization they represent at socials, meetings and presentations.

Donor Direct's campaigners are compensated with competitive rates, enabling them to professionally represent a cause on a full-time basis. Starting wage may vary depending on experience and qualification. Campaigners never receive any form of commission as it is Donor Direct's view that such a motivation may distort campaigner integrity and a charity's public image.

Campaigners may work up to five days per week, and not on Sundays. Working shifts are usually between 6 and 7 hours per day depending on the season, among other factors.

All potential campaigners must submit to a security background check and sign a form of confidentiality for the protection of the organizations we represent.
