If you are interested in pursuing a career in philanthropy, our Summer Development Internship program could be a great opportunity for you.
This paid internship will further your education and give you professional experience in higher education fundraising. By the time it concludes, you will have a solid foundation in development and will be prepared to succeed in a variety of nonprofit-oriented careers.
The Summer Development Internship is designed to give you the knowledge and skills to decide whether a career in development is right for you.
You will spend 35 to 40 hours a week working and learning about higher ed development work. A portion of your schedule will be set aside for classroom-style instruction. You'll spend the rest of your week working on a specific project in a selected school or unit on campus.
At the end of the summer, you'll present your accomplishments and projects to your mentors and the IU Foundation leadership team.
If you're considering a career in philanthropy, we encourage you to apply. Preference is given to graduating seniors/master’s students, or rising seniors in final summer before graduation.
We give preference to students enrolled in nonprofit management classes, a nonprofit management degree, or demonstrated involvement in philanthropic activities.
You must have at least a 3.0 GPA to apply.
Internship opportunities will be posted to the IU Foundation Careers Portal, and recruitment typically begins in the fall semester.
The internship program begins in mid-May and concludes in early August.
