My job role was to be present at every Grantmaking meeting as the official note taker. I conducted research on different ways the Women's fund could partner with various organizations in addition to just giving them grants. I created spreadsheets that recorded grant history, as well as current data about this year's grantee selection process. I contacted members of the Leadership Institute for Political and Public Impact about attending board meetings.
I would say that my placement was very good and would recommend it to other students seeking a placement because the staff is wonderful. They are attentive and very helpful and encouraging and made the atmosphere warm and pleasant.
If I could change something about my experience I would have liked to have made more site visits to the philanthropies but my schedule did not allow for it.
