Looking for a job where you’ll make a real difference? We’re hiring for full-time positions available in 25 offices across the country.
The Fund is running campaigns in: AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, IL, MA, MI, MN, NC, NJ, NM, NY, OH, OR, PA, TX, VT, WA, and Washington, DC.
Accomplishments with Human Rights Campaign
Human Rights Campaign is America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality. By inspiring and engaging all Americans, HRC strives to end discrimination against GLBT citizens and realize a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.
The Fund and Human Rights Campaign have worked on a canvass program together for more than a decade, growing the program’s size and impact every year of the partnership.
The canvass helps expand HRC’s grassroots presence. Each year, we sign up new HRC members in states like Wisconsin, Ohio and Florida.
The Fund and HRC work together on an annual effort to canvass at Pride Festivals. In the summer of 2007, we canvassed at 50 pride events and signed up over 1,000 new monthly donors for HRC at these events.
The Fund’s partnership with HRC began with Fund staff raising money and visibility for HRC at pride events. Soon after, we added a national door-to-door canvassing program. This program has significantly expanded HRC's political and fundraising base. Since the partnership began, the number of HRC members and supporters has grown from 150,000 to 750,000. We've been able to sign up members in places like Pennsylvania and Tennessee, right in the backyard of political opponents like Rick Santorum and Bill Frist.
More recently, we've added a street canvassing program focused on signing up sustainers in high-traffic public places in urban areas like New York and Miami. Our street canvassing program has increased visibility in critical power bases for HRC and added thousands of valuable monthly donors to HRC’s membership file.
The HRC-Fund canvasses are currently working to build support for a ban on employment discrimination.

Canvassing: Winning campaigns and
building organizations one person at a time
If you ask anyone who’s canvassed for the Fund in the last 25 years, they’ll probably give you a thoughtful dissertation on the value of canvassing. Any of our more than 50 partner organizations will too, as will leaders throughout the progressive movement. Boiling it down, there are at least five good reasons to canvass:
• Raise money to fund campaigns and build an organization
• Sign up members for an organization
• Educate the public about serious problems and real solutions
• Build name recognition for an organization and campaign
• Influence decision-makers
And then there’s the profound, positive impact of canvassing on the people we canvass and the canvassers themselves. These impacts aren’t easily measured, but they undoubtedly help lay the groundwork for a healthier, more vibrant democracy.
Battle-tested grassroots professionals
We provide a variety of services to help our partners achieve their political, fundraising and membership goals. We operate the nation's largest fundraising and membership canvassing network. We recruit potential activists and volunteers to enhance your advocacy efforts. We run petition drives, qualify ballot initiatives, and register voters.
The Fund's senior management team has over a century of combined grassroots organizing and fundraising experience, and we’re ready to put it to work for you.
