Internship Opportunity
Center for Preservation Initiatives
Washington, DC
The Center for Preservation Initiatives (CPI), created in 1998, focuses on education and outreach related to historic preservation policy nationwide. CPI is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation. Based in Washington, DC, CPI’s mission is to develop educational programs and resources that will inspire and inform a new generation of preservation advocates. CPI involves individuals and grassroots organizations in the decision-making processes of the national preservation movement.
CPI is pleased to announce a Summer/Fall 2009 internship opportunity
The purpose of this internship is to aid in educating future preservation professionals in the arena of practical practices for funding preservation, focusing on non-profits. The responsibilities of this internship will be split as follows: 75% of the intern’s time will be spent organizing and implementing the CPI Annual Auction, CPI’s major annual fundraiser; and 25% reading and researching on the subject of funding preservation and not-for-profits.
CPI and its sister organization Preservation Action host an auction and gala in conjunction with the National Trust for Historic Preservation Conference. The intern will communicate with potential donors, coordinate obtaining items, prepare the auction catalogue, solicit underwriting support and assist with all activities at the event.
In addition to an opportunity to meet fellow preservationists from all over the nation, the internship also offers a $1,000 stipend and paid expenses to the National Trust for Historic Preservation conference in Nashville, Tennessee (October 13-17, 2009). Although the primary focus at the conference will be on-site management of the auction, an opportunity to attend selected conference sessions would be available.
The intern will work from the office of Preservation Action in the National Building Museum in Washington, DC. Selection preference will be given to students majoring in historic preservation at the graduate degree program from the following colleges/universities in order: 1) University of Georgia, 2) Savannah College of Art and Design, 3) University of Florida, and 4) Middle Tennessee State University.
