The Freedom Together Foundation

For more than a decade, we have worked in partnership with our grantees to always meet the moment. Now, we are entering a new era. At the Freedom Together Foundation, we believe the struggle to defend and expand multiracial democracy is the defining challenge of our time. Philanthropy has a crucial role to play. 

Democracy in the purest sense means that people have the power to make, write, and rewrite the rules that shape our daily lives. Democracy is us — all of us. We achieve it and we make it real, through building community, organizing our neighbors, and taking collective action.

That is why, at the Freedom Together Foundation, we are doubling down on our mission to support people who have been denied power to build it, so they can change unjust systems and create a more democratic, inclusive, and sustainable society.

We are focused on building a deeper and broader pro-democracy movement, with organizations led by working-class people at the center. This movement aims to address the structural flaws in our system and bring forth a truly representative democracy.

We bring a deep well of hope to our work, rooted in what oppressed people have achieved when they come together to stand up for change. This spirit sustains us as we support organizations and leaders striving to build the country we know is possible.

Responsibilities

We are seeking an undergraduate student with a keen interest in investment management and social responsibility. The candidate should have strong analytic and communication skills, be detail oriented, and enjoy working as a team. Most of the internship will be project work, working with the Senior Investment Officer and Chief Investment Officer. Lastly, the intern should be highly proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, and Outlook) and PowerPoint.
