The Media Research Center’s paid internship is the premier program for students looking to advance their career in conservative media. Interns work alongside industry professionals to play an active role in accomplishing the MRC’s mission: to expose and neutralize left-wing media bias.
As a Development intern, you will gain valuable experience in fundraising, events preparation and planning, and database administration. The Media Research Center has a complex database of supporters who give at the individual and foundation level: regularly and once-in-a-lifetime. Development interns learn the operations of a nonprofit that keep its programs functioning: it is the forward facing department to all supporters.
Qualifications of an MRC Development intern:
- Ability to present ideas concisely and clearly in writing
- A passion for nonprofit work and a desire to promote MRC’s mission to supporters
- A willingness to work with donors, both by phone and email in order to meet needs
- Possible experience in fundraising, grant writing, or database maintenance would be helpful, but not required
