Student interns are a tremendous asset to our organization in the areas of donor services, marketing, graphic design, project management, and accounting. Interns become familiar with key community leaders and interact with them by phone, email, and in person. Students help distribute grant funding to nonprofits throughout Northern Colorado; assist with website management using our online content management system; prepare a monthly e-newsletter for donors and community leaders; and much more.

Application Instructions

Students interested in our general internships should email a cover letter and resume to Roxanne Fry at roxanne@CommunityFoundationNC.org.
