The Discovery Museums seek a Development Intern to start in February 2014 for up to 3 months, approximately 20 hours per week. The intern will report to the Chief Development Officer with a primary focus on coordinating our online auction. Our last online auction in April 2014 raised more than $20,000 to support the Museums.

In addition to supporting the auction, he/she will assist with the overall annual giving program, cultivation and stewardship events, communications and research. This is a great opportunity to learn more about fundraising and development operations, areas that are essential to the success of all nonprofit organizations.
