The Development Department manages these important relationships with donors.  The Development Department intern will assist several teams within the Development Department to help reach fundraising goals including Individual Giving, Grants & Foundations, Support Groups, Corporate Relations, and Special Events. The Development intern will gain experience in the non-profit world and support the team in raising $10+ million annually.
