About Program

Gain valuable experience in fundraising at a nonprofit in Africa! We're excited to offer fundraising internships at inspiring social development and environmental organizations. As a fundraising intern, you'll get a thorough understanding of both the international fundraising landscape and the workings of a nonprofit organization at a grassroots level, and you'll get to contribute to a worthwhile cause at the same time.

Fundraising is an ever-evolving landscape, with donors shifting their focus continually and new and creative ways to raise funds becoming vital for many organizations. As a fundraising intern, you gain insight into these trends, while also gaining practical experience with things like grant and proposal writing, individual giving campaigns, corporate sponsorship (CSR), online fundraising, relationship management, and reporting. Most internships can be customized to your skills and desired learning outcomes so that you're ensured to have the work experience you want.

Impact 🌎

Having started off as the offshoot of an urban greening project, Roots Interns has always been aware of our environmental impact. That's why we work with projects and accommodations that are also actively aware of their impact and striving to make a positive difference. By consciously choosing partners that have sustainable practices in place, we can work towards balancing out any impacts on the environment with equally positive actions.
Roots Interns was built around a need for qualified interns in the sustainable development sector. Whether supporting environmental or wildlife conservation or social development, our internships leave a tangible positive footprint on people’s lives and their environment. Working at a grassroots level ensures that the needs of host communities are always at the forefront, no matter the specific cause. Many of our partners support the UN Sustainable Development Goals, further aligning our internships with creating sustainable change. We take great pride in the impact our interns create with the organization they work with and the connections they're able to make in new locations and cultures.
