Summer Development Internship
Location: Washington, DC (3 blocks from the Takoma Metro Station on the red line.)
Timeframe: This is a summer position starting as soon as possible and going through August (16 - 24 hrs/ week). There is a possibility this position could be extended if it proves to be a good fit for all parties.
Compensation: While this is an unpaid position, interns will be reimbursed for commuting via public transportation and receive $10 per diem (prorated for partial days).
Description: The development internship offers an excellent opportunity for a motivated individual to work closely with accomplished fundraising professionals in a national environmental non-profit with an annual budget of $2 million. The development intern’s responsibilities include:
- Corresponding with individual and institutional donors, including writing and sending thank you letters;
- Assisting in identifying potential donors by conducting research on foundations and major donors;
- Drafting development materials;
- Working closely with Earth Share, a leading environmental umbrella organization, in expanding New Dream’s fundraising activities;
- Helping with general administrative work (approximately 25% of time) and other tasks as requested.
- While this is a development internship, the position is flexible and offers the possibility of working with Communications and Outreach departments on specific projects. Interns are invited to attend and help plan staff meetings and may be asked to represent New Dream at community events.
The ideal candidate will be a good writer who is independent, detail-oriented, and capable of taking initiative on specific projects. Successful applicants will also have a sense of humor and subscribe to our philosophy of "more fun, less stuff." Applicants who are looking to learn about fundraising and outreach techniques in the non-profit world are encouraged to apply. Experience working with databases a plus, but not required.
How to Apply: Please email a cover letter, resume, and a 2-4 page writing sample to kacey@newdream.org with “Development Internship” in the subject line. In addition to explaining why you’d like to work with New American Dream, please include the following in your cover letter:
- How much time you would like to commit each week
- What days and for how long you are available (one semester minimum)
Applications may be submitted immediately. We will close the search when we find the right candidate.
