KJD Strategies is looking for a highly motivated intern to support the political fundraising team. You will report directly to our senior staff on projects that will prepare you for a future in fundraising on the City, State or Federal campaign trail.
The ideal candidate is a bright, hard-working individual who enjoys researchbased projects and is extremely detail oriented. Proficiency in Excel is a plus but not required.
You will be primarily responsible for a research portfolio of individual donors and donor groups, and preparing briefing documents that will go directly to our clients. Though your primary focus will be on research, additional tasks may include direct donor outreach, managing large mailings, and staffing fundraising events. Your willingness to roll up your sleeves, work across multiple platforms, and keep up-to-speed with multiple projects is important.
KJD Strategies is a boutique consulting firm with a wide variety of Democratic clients from the Illinois state legislature and Chicago City Council. We execute aggressive fundraising plans that require creative thinking, hard work, and discipline. Because we are a small office, our interns are an integral part of our day-to-day operation. Our office is located in the Loop, easily accessible by public transportation. We work in a fast-paced, results-driven, but generally informal environment.
This is an un-paid internship. Hours and days are flexible, and we are happy to work with you to earn college credit if applicable.
Please respond by email to Robyn Montes at robyn@kjdstrategies.com with your resume and short cover letter. Please specify why you are interested in learning the world of political fundraising. No phone calls.
