The Opportunity
Are you a writer who loves a good "deep dive"? Do you believe that data is important, but a compelling story is what truly moves people to action? We are looking for a curious, articulate, and highly organized college intern to join our team this summer.

This isn't a "get-the-coffee" internship. You will be a core part of our development efforts, helping us secure the funding necessary to fuel our mission. You’ll walk away with tangible portfolio pieces, a deep understanding of the nonprofit/funding landscape, and experience in professional grant management.

What You’ll Do

• We have a busy summer planned! You will dive into a few key projects, focusing on:
• The Hunt: Researching new funding opportunities from foundations, corporations, and government agencies that align with our specific mission.
• The Narrative: Assisting in drafting "Letters of Inquiry" (LOIs) and grant proposals. You’ll help us turn our impact data into stories that resonate with donors.
• The Library: Helping organize our "grant boilerplate"—a library of our best stories, statistics, and program descriptions to make future applications more efficient.
• The Calendar: Managing deadlines and ensuring all supplemental materials (tax forms, board lists, etc.) are polished and ready for submission.

Requirements

• Current enrollment in a college program (English, Communications, Nonprofit Management, Journalism, or related fields preferred).
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word/Excel) and Google Workspace.
• Ability to work independently while staying communicative with a remote/hybrid team.
• We are looking for someone who is:
  A Storyteller: You can take a set of facts and weave them into a narrative that is both professional and moving.
• A "Super-Sleuth": You enjoy the challenge of digging through a foundation’s 990 forms or website to find the "hook" that connects their goals to ours.
• Detail-Oriented: You’re the person who catches the typo in the last paragraph and makes sure the margins are exactly right.
• Growth-Minded: You aren’t afraid to ask questions. You want to learn why we approach donors a certain way and how to improve your professional writing.
