The Real Questions

(AKA: The Stuff People Google Before They Apply)

We believe in transparency. If you’re going to work with us or donate at one of our events you
deserve real answers.

How do I get paid?

We’re performance based.
That means your pay reflects the results you produce. The more impact you create for the nonprofit partner you’re representing, the more you earn.

● Paid training
● Consistent weekly paycheck
● Opportunity to make more

This is structured community fundraising and like most performance driven roles effort and skill directly affect income.

What are the hours?

This is a full time role. Because we work at community events, retail locations, fairs, and shows around Charlotte, the schedule isn’t a traditional 9–5 desk job.

Expect:

  • Daytime shifts
  • Weekend events
  • Consistent weekly schedule
  • Team based environment

If you’re looking for remote work in sweats, this isn’t that. If you want to be out in the community, talking to real people, building confidence, and making money while making a difference, this might be for you.

Is this company legit?

Yes.

Queen City Promotions is a registered, for-profit fundraising and events company based in Charlotte, NC. We partner with nonprofit organizations to help them expand their reach through face-to-face community outreach.

Third party fundraising is a real, widely used industry practice. Many nationally recognized charities use outside agencies to scale awareness and donations.

Nonprofits hire us because:

  • They don’t always have in house teams for large scale outreach
  • Face-to-face fundraising consistently drives donor engagement
  • It allows them to focus on their core mission

     

We get paid. The nonprofit receives increased exposure and donations. Donors get to directly support a cause they care about. It’s a win-win when done ethically and that’s our standard.

Is this an MLM or pyramid scheme?

No. Let’s clear that up.

  • You are not required to recruit your friends.
  • You do not make money off signing up other employees.
  • You do not purchase products.
  • There is no buy-in fee.

     

You’re hired as an employee.
You’re trained.
You’re paid based on performance.

That’s it.

Is there training?

Absolutely.

We offer paid training covering:

  • Campaign education
  • Public communication skills
  • Professional development
  • Leadership pathways

     

You’re not thrown out there with a clipboard and vibes.

Why doesn’t the charity just hire their own staff?

Many charities operate on tight budgets. Hiring, training, and managing large outreach teams in multiple cities is expensive and time consuming.

Companies like ours specialize in:

  • Community event execution
  • Donor engagement
  • Scaling campaigns quickly
  • Expanding reach into new markets and cities

It allows nonprofits to stay focused on delivering services while we help amplify their mission.

Who thrives here?

People who:

  • Like being around others
  • Enjoy challenge
  • Are competitive (in a healthy way)
  • Care about causes
  • Want upward mobility

     

People who prefer quiet, solo work or minimal social interaction usually don’t love it.

And that’s okay.

I saw bad reviews online…

Totally fair to look at reviews.

Any community outreach performance based company will have mixed feedback. Why?

Because:

  • It’s not a fit for everyone.
  • Some people aren’t clear on what the job actually is.
  • Some people expect something different.
  • Some don’t enjoy outreach style environments.

     

We encourage you to:

  • Ask questions in the interview.
  • Speak to current team members.
  • Decide if the culture aligns with your goals.
