We are seeking Business Development Interns to support outreach efforts related to grant and funding opportunities available to schools, libraries, and community organizations.

• Introduce grant and funding opportunities in clear, simple terms.
• Identify interest and basic eligibility.
• Schedule informational calls or meetings for senior team members.
• Maintain accurate call notes and appointment records.
• Represent the organization professionally and respectfully.
