Online Fundraising Volunteer (Donation Sourcing)

International Aid for the Protection & Welfare of Animals (IAPWA) was founded in 2009 and aims to provide protection and improve the welfare of animals in need. Our first project is based in Borneo, where we provide a lifeline to thousands of dogs and cats every year in need of veterinary care and support. Our companion animal programmes have since developed in other countries, including Romania and Penang Island, as well as support programmes to help other species.

We have recently relaunched our Auctions for Animals online fundraising events and are searching for enthusiastic volunteers to join our team to help source donations. Ideally our volunteers will have some experience in generating donations/prizes for events, or will be happy to spread the word within your local community and collect new or preloved donations for us. 

Tasks will include:

• Identifying suitable avenues for donations, creating and building relationships with our supporters and donors and helping to promote IAPWA within your local community.

• Assisting with the running of our monthly auction events via our Auctions For Animals Facebook Group.

• Packing and Posting sold items. 

Ideally you will;

• Enjoy promoting our charity within the community and help to generate a regular stream of donations. 

• Experience of using Google Docs/Sheets or willingness to learn.

• Be able to work independently and use your own initiative.

• Offer 1-3 hours per week (hours can be fully flexible)

• A passion to help raise funds for animals in our care

What we can offer you;
