This internship does not constitute employment with Binaytara and is not designed as a pathway to employment with the organization.

Learning Focus Areas

Through supervised, mentored participation, the intern will gain exposure to:

• Institutional fundraising strategies and grant making processes

• Proposal development and review

• Grants compliance, documentation, and reporting workflows

• Cross-team collaboration in a nonprofit environment

• Ethical and professional standards in fundraising and medical education support

Educational & Project-Based Activities

All activities are conducted with training, supervision, and review, and are designed to support learning objectives rather than independent operational responsibility.

With training and mentorship, the intern will:

• Assist in drafting components of IME grant applications for review

• Support documentation, compliance tracking, and reporting processes for funded programs

• Observe and assist with internal coordination to understand grant lifecycle management

• Learn how funded program requirements are monitored and fulfilled

Periodic Administrative & Systems Support (approximately 10–15% of time)

Occasional evening and weekend travel, including overnight stays, may be required for on-site learning exposure.

Learning Progression & Skill Development

As the intern develops skills and understanding, responsibilities may evolve in complexity, always remaining supervised and instructional in nature. Increased exposure reflects learning progression and does not imply independent authority or staff-level responsibility.

The internship is designed to prepare participants for future careers in nonprofit development and related sectors broadly, not specifically for roles at Binaytara.

Qualifications

• Recent college graduate (within two years of graduation preferred)

• Strong interest in nonprofit development, philanthropy, healthcare, or medical education

• Strong writing, research, organizational, and communication skills

• Ability to work collaboratively and ask questions in a learning-focused environment
