Overview
The Development department at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) is the organization’s fundraising apparatus, attracting and managing financial support for all AEI initiatives and operations.
AEI is supported by individuals, foundations, and corporations that share AEI’s core values—free people, free markets, and American global leadership—and engage with the Institute through private and public events, publications, personal meetings, and more.
The Development intern will achieve a holistic understanding of the fundraising operations of a top-tier think tank and join a dynamic team with a unique and highly successful fundraising model.
The intern will assist with researching prospective donors, executing donor outreach communications, and maintaining the capabilities of the team’s database.
The intern will also gain experience in data analysis and reporting for key team objectives.
The intern is encouraged to network with colleagues within and beyond the department and participate in scholarly events at the Institute, in addition to attending intern-specific programming.
Candidates who are able to participate in the program in-person for close to 40 hours per week are encouraged to apply.
