# Animal advocacy NGO work placement programme launches for fundraisers - Link: https://fundraising.co.uk/2022/03/31/animal-advocacy-ngo-work-placement-programme-launches-for-fundraisers/ - Published: 2022-03-31T09:00:00+01:00 - Author: Melanie May **Animal Advocacy Careers is launching the free global Fundraising Work Placement programme, which aims to attract fundraising talent to animal advocacy nonprofits.** Partnering with animal advocacy non-profits across the globe, the Fundraising Work Placement programme is aimed at individuals who want to experience a fundraising role for an animal advocacy organisation. It is based on a three-month remote, part- time or full-time job. [The programme](https://www.animaladvocacycareers.org/fundraising-work-placement) is free, and applicants that make it past the initial screening will be compensated at around $20 per hour (around £15) throughout the rest of the process. The same amount of compensation will be offered per hour spent on test tasks, up to a maximum of three hours, as well as $50 (around £38) per interview. ## Advertisement Edie Bowles, co-founder, Advocates for Animals, said: > “I am delighted that AAC has invited Advocates for Animals to partner on the new > Fundraising Work Placement programme. It is a challenge for us to find promising, > mission-aligned fundraisers and as a not-for-profit law firm that represents some > of the most impactful animal groups in the movement, this programme will help > ensure that we can keep our services accessible.” Lauren Mee, Animal Advocacy Careers co-founder and CEO, added: > “We are especially hoping that people from less privileged backgrounds will apply, > who might otherwise find it difficult to spare the time and money to take on the > unpaid opportunities that enable them to get their foot in the door.” Applicants could be matched with organisations from different continents. Some of the organisations include New Harvest and Legal Impact for Chickens in the United States, Advocates for Animals and Animal Ask in the United Kingdom, Vegetarianos Hoy in Latin America, and Animal Advocacy Africa in Africa.  The deadline for applications is 1 May. When enrolling in the programme, participants will also be supported to take part in Animal Advocacy Careers’ online course and meet other fundraisers and animal advocates. * **[New charity initiative offers hotel vouchers to support fundraising efforts](https://fundraising.co.uk/2022/10/04/new-charity-initiative-offers-hotel-vouchers-to-support-fundraising-efforts/)**( 4 October 2022) * **[Programme of free webinars on charity finance announced](https://fundraising.co.uk/2023/01/05/programme-of-free-webinars-on-charity-finance-announced/)**( 5 January 2023) * **[School of Code graduates available to charities with no hiring fee](https://fundraising.co.uk/2023/03/14/school-of-code-graduates-available-to-charities-with-no-hiring-fee/)**( 14 March 2023)
