Fundraising Internship at The Small Things in Tanzania

The Small Things (www.thesmallthings.org) is a US registered non-profit working in Nkoaranga, a small village near Arusha in Tanzania. We support a local orphanage and are currently expanding to build a Children's Village and other community outreach programmes. We are seeking an experienced fundraising intern to support this work.

We are looking for a minimum 6 month commitment, followed by the possibility of permanent, paid employment for the right candidate.
Duties:
  • Research funding organizations relevant to our work
  • Draft applications to trusts, foundations and grant making bodies
  • Create fundraising strategies for special projects targeting relevant community and corporate funding.
  • Respond to grant enquiries, update records and follow up as required
  • Research potential coporate, private and philanthropic donors for special projects such as the Children's Village or our maternal and infant health outreach programmes.
  • Help create social media campaigns.
  • General administration and office support as required.
Qualification/Experience required:
  • Fluent English. Swahili would be helpful but not required
  • Educated at least to undergraduate degree level
  • Experience working/volunteering in the non-profit sector
  • Experience in any of the duties described above, paid or voluntary.
  • Self motivated and able to manage own workload.
You would be required to work closely with Bekka, the on-site director and other colleagues both on the ground and those based overseas via email. You would be provided with a room in our volunteer compound just down the road from the orphanage, with its own bathroom and a shared kitchen, plus a $100/month stipend, which, in Tanzania, is enough to live simply on. We would also cover your visa costs.
How to apply:
Please send a CV and cover letter to volunteers@thesmallthings.org detailing your relevant experience of the duties described, your experience working/volunteer with non-profits and any experience you have of living in a developing country.
