Like all non-profits, the Birthplace relies on a variety of funding sources to make its mission possible; this would be an opportunity for an intern to take direct part in the funding, grant writing, and sponsorship programs that underwrite the museum’s work.

Possible projects include:

  • Research grants applicable to particular museum projects (interactive kiosks, display cases, funding for school groups)
  • Search out and contact possible sponsors of events, projects, and displays (ex. Company or group willing to fund travelling shoe exhibit)
  • Research cooperative grants with other local organizations- funding for children’s space & activities with local youth groups; backing for senior discussion groups & tours
  • Cooperative ventures with other women’s and history organizations

These lists are a sampling of possible projects; it is our hope to make these internships an active partnership, integrating these plans with the particular skills and interests of our applicants. Interdisciplinary ideas and new avenues of exploration are welcome for consideration.


Intern Application Information:

  • Applicants are expected to be self motivated and willing to work creatively within budget and technology restraints.
