Research and Development Internship - $15/hour

Research and Development Internship with a Progressive Nonprofit in D.C.

Do you love trying to change someone’s mind about an issue using numbers and stories? Do you sweat the small details on school and/or work projects? Are you driven to make your community and our country a more just and equitable place? 

The National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy (NCRP) in Washington, D.C., is looking for a recent college graduate student or graduate student who can help the organization’s small but mighty team promote philanthropy that builds the power of marginalized communities and leads to long-term equitable change. This one-year PAID research and development internship begins August 2019, with the potential to convert to a full-time staff position during that period.

This internship is a wonderful opportunity for hands-on experience using data to tell compelling stories at a national nonprofit. You’ll practice database design, qualitative data collection, and managing short-term projects. You’ll also get a chance to learn more about and interact with grassroots nonprofits and progressive foundations across the country that are engaged in the daily fight for a more equitable society. If you’re interested in learning more about this sector and building transferable skills for future work at a nonprofit or philanthropic institution, please read more below.

Who will coach, mentor and supervise you? The Research Director and the Senior Director of Foundation Engagement. You will help support NCRP's research agenda as well as efforts to fundraise to sustain our organization.
