The Ittleson Foundation is dedicated to serving the needs of the underprivileged by providing organizations with funds necessary to complete their work. As an intern, you would be working directly with the Executive Director in New York City. In addition to this, interns would be exposed to all aspects of the organization: from grantwriting to presenting, to evaluating impact.
