The intern will work closely with our Development Department to conduct an individual donor analysis to identify individual donor behavior and giving patterns, as well as a comparative analysis in relation to our 5th year fundraising event.

In addition to contributing to our development efforts, the intern will work closely with our Program Assistant in the areas of communications and social media marketing to help with the transition to a brand new website, which will require the moving of content from the current site to the new one, and integrating new social media tools to our new website (uploading multimedia content such as video, audio, pictures, etc).
