“My main responsibility at AP is raising some money for the summer. I work with fellows on creating their fundraising appeals, work with Amanda to promote them on social media, and bombard my Facebook friends on AP campaigns. I also organize AP’s donor database and money raised in the past by chasing Iain and giving him a to-do list since he is the only one who knows about the funds that have come through since 1998. With things organized, I created many colorful pie charts which are to be found on the AP website.It is a very rewarding experience to intern at The Advocacy Project. I learned a lot about the everyday challenges facing small nonprofits and particularly advocates working in the field of conflict resolution, such as management, organization, communications, and fundraising. The best part, of course, is the friendly office culture and Iain’s countless bizarre stories!”
