The Koch Internship Program (KIP) is a paid, 10-week experiential learning program run by Stand Together Fellowships that offers meaningful work experience at non-profits all over the country tackling some of our nation’s most pressing challenges. Throughout your internship with a partner organization, Stand Together Fellowships hosts virtual professional development sessions every Thursday from 1-5 pm ET, wherein you will be mentored by seasoned professionals as you craft a capstone project on the topic that matters most to you. Interns will receive either a $5,500 or $3,300 stipend from Stand Together Fellowships depending on whether they are participating full-time (40 hours/week) or part-time (28 hours/week).
Fundraising is arguably one of the most important aspects of any successful think tank. After all, our policy centers would not be able to do what they do without funding to assist in their success! As a Development intern, college and/or graduate students gain experience in every facet of fundraising. From database management to donor cultivation, this internship will teach the skills necessary for success in a variety of career fields.
Every intern is assigned personally tailored projects that aid in the financing, growing, and disseminating of Independence Institute’s mission. Projects can include grant and appeal writing, donor cultivation, prospect research, marketing strategy, event planning, donor stewardship, data analysis, and much more. Join our team today and earn valuable skills while helping to grow our public policy programs!
