  • Thanking donors for their gifts by phone, email, and handwritten notes
  • Assisting with mailings and other fundraising support as needed

Qualifications:

  • Interest in non-profit development and/or event planning
    Passion for social justice, LGBTQ+ and HIV+ rights, and racial and economic justice
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Willingness to ask questions, as well as the ability to take direction
  • Working well independently and as part of a small team
  • Showing initiative and follow-through in a dynamic environment
  • Familiarity with Salesforce or Microsoft Office Suite a plus

This is a part-time 200-hour minimum internship with a stipend and an expected start date in early September and end date in December. This is a hybrid position with some required in-office hours, attendance at GLAD’s Regional Events in the spring, and the option to work from home for a portion of time.

GLAD requires all staff, volunteers, and interns working in GLAD’s office, at events, or engaging in any in-person work on GLAD’s behalf to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
