Fundraising Internship
This is a remote, one-month fundraising internship at Pledge India Foundation, with 40 openings. Pay is mostly performance-linked: the fixed part is just ₹1, and the rest depends on the funds you bring in.
What you would be doing
The work sits around raising money for the foundation's social programmes. You would help shape and carry out fundraising plans, and hunt down people and organisations who might donate or sponsor. You would also write grant proposals and donation appeals.
Beyond the writing, there is hands-on coordination: running fundraising events and campaigns, and handling communication with donors and keeping those relationships going. You would also go through fundraising numbers and turn them into reports.
All of this is done alongside other team members on fundraising initiatives. The skills tied to the posting include social media marketing, content writing, networking, cold calling, email marketing and MS-Excel.

- Write a short sample donation appeal or a one-page grant pitch for any cause. It shows the exact skill this role needs better than a claim would.
- Be ready to talk about a time you persuaded someone or got a stranger to respond, whether through email, a call or a message.
- Brush up on Excel basics, since you would be working with fundraising data and reports.
- Think through how you would find donors for a cause: where you would look and how you would approach them.
- Since the incentive depends on money raised, decide beforehand how much time you can realistically give in the month.
