I am an intern with the Leadership Gifts Fundraising and Development staff on the International Rescue Committee . The IRC is an international humanitarian group that helps individuals regain and rebuild their lives after battle and catastrophe. I work primarily with Donor Advised Funds and ensure that the contact information for our Donors are appropriate. I also have been working with the group to do a massive clean-up of Salesforce, a program that the IRC makes use of to maintain monitor of donation information and accounts. This fall, I might be interning at Swarovski as a company social accountability intern and at the UN NGO Committee on Financing for Development as a pupil intern.
