    About Project C.U.R.E.

    Project C.U.R.E. is the world’s largest distributor of donated medical relief, delivering life-saving medical supplies and equipment to hospitals and clinics in under-resourced communities across more than 135 countries. We bridge the gap between surplus in the U.S. and desperate need abroad.

    Position Overview

    We are seeking a detail-oriented, driven, and passionate Grant Writing & Research Intern to join our development team. This role is highly collaborative and offers hands-on experience in nonprofit fundraising, international development, and global health. You will play a vital role in identifying new funding streams, drafting compelling proposals, and helping secure the resources needed to deliver medical supplies worldwide.

    • Proposal Writing: Draft proposals and letters of inquiry (LOIs) to support international humanitarian services and a grant revenue goal of over $1M annually.
    • Database Management: Maintain and update the grants calendar and donor database (CRM) to ensure deadlines, submissions, and reporting requirements are tracked accurately.

    Qualifications

    • Excellent written communication, editing, and storytelling skills.
    • Strong research capabilities with the ability to synthesize complex data into clear, persuasive arguments.
    • Pursuing or recently completed a degree in English, Communications, Nonprofit Management, International Relations, Public Health, or a related field.
    • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and Google Workspace; experience with grant search engines (e.g., Grant Watch) is a plus.
    • A strong commitment to global health equity and humanitarian aid.

    What You’ll Gain

    • A portfolio of written grant materials, real-world fundraising and grant portal navigation experience (from identification of opportunity to submission) that supports a $1M+ revenue goal.
    • Deep insight into global health logistics and the international nonprofit sector.
    • Professional mentorship and networking opportunities within the global health space.
    • A letter of recommendation upon successful completion. Timeframe to be determined.
