About The Company
Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems. From education and economic opportunity to healthcare, communities, and division, we work to address the challenges holding people back from reaching their full potential. Our partners include nonprofit leaders, educators, Fortune 50 CEOs, NFL legends, civil rights leaders, Grammy-winning musicians, and grassroots activists. We help them transform their results by providing access to powerful capabilities — including funding to build capacity, a unique national network to reach scale, and a proven playbook for applying principles that help organizations grow, innovate, and thrive. Complex problems require a comprehensive approach. That’s why the Stand Together community unites changemakers from every sector and background to drive lasting solutions that transform lives and society.
About the Role
Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is the premier grassroots organization focused on advocating solutions to the country’s greatest challenges. We recognize that tens of millions of Americans are frustrated with the extreme partisanship in government that keeps common-sense reforms from being passed, and instead seek to stand with policy leaders who are committed to finding a better way. Americans for Prosperity is part of the Stand Together philanthropic community.

This internship offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in federal government relations and public policy.
