Description:

The intern will work with the program team and grants administration to tag all missing initiative-based grants and cleanup missing fields, gathering better data on grantee and Knight staff grant making experience while also engaging teams foundation-wide by sharing what we learn. This work will result in the intern identifying initiative-based grants and specific grants with missing fields, consolidating a list of final questions and grantees for grantee perception survey and launching survey to program staff, select group of grantees and then sharing the results of the survey. Lastly, the intern will provide recommendations for improvements on the new grant form.
