A typical day for a fundraiser would include working in the field (usually a mall) and standing at a booth to stop and talk to people about the charity we work with.

The hardest part of the job is finding a way to encourage strangers to donate to charity. You deal with a lot of rejections and objections. Ultimately, you learn to find a way to inspire them to get involved. It's the toughest part of our job, but it's totally worth it because your asking for someone to be a part of changing the world. This is where your perseverance and your determination comes in! Don't give up!

Overall, an amazing place to work and great people to work with! Many opportunities available in a fast-paced and continuously growing environment!

Great core values, however poorly run.  Typical day at work (only 4 - 5 hr shilft) - try to catch the eye of shoppers so you can talk to them about World Vision.  If you can handle standing all day its great.  I was hired for the last week and half of an already in progress campaign, so I never got much of chance to really get my feet wet, but I would of loved to have gotten one child sponsored.  I am still on their payroll but they forgot about me for the next campaign.  I think it is difficult to keep supervisors and team leaders because of the nature of the job being sub contractor, and being short 1 - 2 month campaigns. Rate of pay is great but not so much if they forget you work for them.  I am still on their payroll but I don't have any shifts and I have not had a call from them to tell me what is going on. When  I call , there is no return call, when I email, they send me a welcome to Donorworx email?????and tell me about training after the training is all over.  Like I said I love what they stand for and who they are contracting with but just bad communication.

This company acts like they do non profit work but in reality it is all for profit. They are very unprofessional everyone there smokes weed while working and other stuff if you know what I mean. They hire everyone. You can come and go as you like. It's Door to door sales they say your not selling anything yet you need ppl to pay monthly. Long hours for less then minimum wage. Terrible payment strategy. Horrible training. The people "training" new workers are too busy trying to get their own commission to take the time to teach the newbies. 84% monthly turnover rate. Revolving door business. The guy training me told me how he slept with the ceo on my first day idk what that has to do with me but seriously. One of the partners when I spoke with him about my pay he tried to convince me to get payed only commission instead I said no and I can't cause it feels unethical and he said its a lot better that's why he is buying a new house.

if you are looking for a job that has a real impact on the world and challenges you work harder this is a great place to work. Surrounded by extremely passionate co-workers and management. This is the hardest job I have ever done but the most rewarding.
Job involves connecting with potential sponsors in a mall setting to help children in developing countries get the basic necessities to survive.
I have learned how to move out of my comfort zone and connect with people.
If you are applying for this job because it pays a bit more than other jobs you will not last. If you are applying for this job because you want to do something that has an impact on the world you will thrive in this environment.

An excellent place to work for anyone with humanitarian interests. Excellent place to develop skills and become an strong communication oriented person. Great team feeling, must be able to rely on coworkers for successful work environment. Worked as a fundraiser in a mall environment means one is very exposed, but with extensive training and a supportive work environment/great campaign leaders, one can thrive. Must be self-motivated and strong willed. Excellent CEO and strong leaders, always available for support and coaching. A challenging and rewarding job!

Competitive work environment, fast paced, aura of fun, opportunity to change the world, chance of promotion based on numbers, always a smile in the morning!

Possibility of Fundraiser exhaustion, unrealistic goals, behind the curve in effective fundraising methods,spotty hiring, bottom rungs are potential scapegoats for hundreds of contributing factors to why there are no/little results, and finally a possibility of finishing your day discouraged and unfulfilled. 

Job culture varies between what part of the organization you are working with. Some are better then others!

I learned lots about people by working at donorworx. I think they have something very special going on and anyone that is chosen to be a part of it is truly blessed. What they do is very difficult but very worth while because they help charities raise funds to help people.
I was originally told that donorworx was build on honesty, integrity and love...and it is true.
I cherished my time at donorworx and working with some of the most amazing people ever has made me a better person.

Good luck getting paid on time, in full, and without a huge runaround, fundraisers! Before Donorworx can save "the precious children" they need to focus firstly on handling their affairs - and their employees - in a professional manner. Their two mall booths in Nanaimo, B.C. Canada closed without warning exactly two weeks before Christmas, 2013. I am personally still waiting - and fighting - to get paid for my first day of employment on November 28th - and here it is 32 days and counting later!

I thought Donorworx was going to be a good gig. The pay seems good, if you happen to get more than three hours a week. 

However, they do not tax you nor do they tell you that you need to figure out the tax for yourself so that when tax time rolls around you know what you are doing. 

So unless you are aware that you need to tax yourself, and know how to do so properly, do not take a job here. It's a huge headache for barely any experience or income.
