The Strategic Planning and Development Intern will play a key role in supporting the Council For A Strong America’s (CSA) six-person Strategic Planning and Development team.

- Creating and writing organizational profiles of accomplishments for each of the four CSA organizations. You will work closely via email and in-person conversations with the national directors of the four CSA organizations to collect information.

- Creating templates for standardized talking points to pitch our organization to potential funders. You will gather this information from past grant proposal and talking points.

- Organizing and filing the department’s DVD/Video collection of clips that showcase news and event coverage.

- Database conversion and management, including transferring funder and grant related information from our old database to a new, cloud-based system.
