The Rosenbach Museum & Library is currently seeking two part-time unpaid interns for its development department. The development department is an integral part of the Rosenbach’s ability to fulfill its mission of inspiring curiosity, inquiry, and creativity through exhibitions, programs, and research based on its collections. The development department is responsible for identifying and cultivating individual and institutional donors, soliciting gifts, and stewarding existing donors.

• Facilitate email and mail correspondence with donors
