About Media Research Center:
 
The Media Research Center (MRC) is America’s premier media watchdog. Since 1987, MRC has exposed left-wing bias in news and pop culture, defended free speech, and fought Big Tech censorship of conservatives. With powerful tools like its TV news archive and CensorTrack database, MRC provides hard evidence of bias and censorship. We educate the public and shape the national conversation across platforms that generate over 500 million weekly impressions.
 
As a Development Intern, you will gain valuable experience in fundraising, events preparation and planning, and database administration. The Media Research Center has a complex database of supporters who give at the individual and foundation level: regularly and once-in-a-lifetime. Development interns learn the operations of a nonprofit that keep its programs functioning.
Qualifications of an MRC Development intern:
Ability to present ideas concisely and clearly in writing
A passion for nonprofit work and a desire to promote MRC’s mission to supporters
A willingness to work with donors, both by phone and email in order to meet needs
Possible experience in fundraising, grant writing, or database maintenance would be helpful, but not required
 
This internship is designed for students and recent graduates. The position is in-person only at MRC headquarters; remote work is not available.
