CF Internship Program
IPA's Community Foundation Internship (CFI) program is made possible by a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. under its GIFT (Giving Indiana Funds for Tomorrow) initiative for Indiana community foundations.
I chose this internship because I value what my community foundation does for my community and have experienced firsthand all of the good they provide.
I am interested in the ability to use some of the skills I have, like marketing and design, to help support real-world causes.
I look forward to gaining skills in this field to apply to my future career in the field of nonprofits.
About
Indiana community foundations meeting eligibility requirements may request up $26,160 to cover student internships from January 2025 to December 2026. Questions can be sent to cfintern@inphilanthropy.org.
Applications should be submitted before the student’s start date at the foundation for the semester, and no later than two weeks after they begin work. Please reach out if your anticipated end date for an internship is extended.
Payment is released at the end of the internship on a reimbursement basis, upon approval of your final report. You have the opportunity to adjust your grant request on your report to accurately reflect the intern’s actual hours worked.
