The Center for a New American Security (CNAS) established its flagship internship and mentoring program in honor of Dr. Joseph S. Nye, Jr., who has devoted his career to the preparation and mentoring of generations of Americans and global strategists.
CNAS offers full-time (40 hrs/week) internships for a six-month term. Interns are given a $75 per month transportation stipend and an additional stipend of $1,900 per month intended to help cover daily expenses incurred during the internship. As of September 2021, CNAS personnel have resumed working in our Washington, DC office full-time. Therefore, they are now only accepting applicants who can relocate or are already located in the Washington, DC area.
Development:
Target start date: January 2023
The Development team works in support of the Center and its mission to build and maintain diverse donor portfolios, steward current partners, and prospect potential funders of the organization. The Joseph S. Nye, Jr. Development Intern works directly with members of the Development team to assist with ad hoc projects related to the Center’s fundraising portfolios (individual, corporations, government, and foundations); conduct development and fundraising-related research and assemble briefing memos related to development prospects and opportunities; manage data input in the Center’s CRM (Salesforce); support event planning and execution; provide assistance to research programs with database and marketing tool questions; and support email marketing efforts, including tracking metrics, using the Center's marketing software.
The ideal candidate possesses an appreciation and willingness to work in a fast-paced environment, excellent verbal and communications skills, the ability to prioritize multiple tasks from several stakeholders at once, exceptional professionalism and discretion, and a willingness to learn on their feet. Additionally, the ideal candidate will be a highly motivated self-starter, detail oriented, and have a track record of high-quality research and organizational management skills. Candidates with a background and interest in fundraising and nonprofit management are strongly preferred.
Applicants should familiarize themselves with the department's work through the descriptions and information available on the CNAS website. Your cover letter should, in addition to outlining your qualifications, explain why it interests you. Interns work closely with CNAS staff and are given considerable responsibility.
