Non-Profit Fundraising Intern
Please Note: This is an in-person internship based in our Chicago office. Remote internships are not available.
Tuesday's Child has spent the past 30 years working with children ages 18 months-6 with various behavioral difficulties by providing empathetic, therapeutic, and dedicated support to any family in need. We currently host a variety of programs, including a weekly behavioral group for children and parents, social skills groups, in-home services, a therapeutic preschool during the school year, and a summer camp designed for our current families and those new to behavioral intervention. As a non-profit organization, Tuesday's Child prides itself on accepting families across Chicago regardless of financial status, and provides a sliding scale for our services.
Participants in our program will benefit from individualized parent training, consultation with our clinical psychologist, developmental screenings, school advocacy services, and behavioral intervention groups designed to address aggression, inattention, avoidance, regulatory skills, social skills, and problem solving skills.
Interns will work directly with the Director of Development on some occasions with the Executive Director and Marketing Assistant. This is an excellent opportunity to gain hands on experience in donor relations, corporate/foundation strategy and special event production as well as marketing techniques. Fundraising Interns will gain experience with fundraising and the not for profit sector; gain a wide range of fundraising experience to enhance your CV and make a valuable contribution to raising funds for a charity. Interns will be exposed to a donor CRM (DonorSnap), researching and preparing applications for funding from foundations and corporations, prospect and donor research and individual giving strategy, and understanding the strategy involved in planning and running successful events.
Tuesday's Child is always seeking interns year round, including full academic year, fall/spring semesters, or summer opportunities on both full time and part time bases, so please contact us with your preferred internship availability! We can offer school credit in many forms for all internships, however financial compensation is not provided. Tuesday's Child is easily accessible via CTA and has access to a free parking lot/street parking. We are located at 3633 N California Avenue, Chicago IL.
Interns should apply via Handshake or email Gary (gkoenig@tuesdayschildchicago.org) directly with their resume and completed application.
