Intern, Advisory & Impact
Asia Community Foundation (ACF) is looking for an enthusiastic intern with excellent communications and interpersonal skills who is passionate about contributing to the social impact sector. Reporting to the Senior Manager, Advisory & Impact, the Intern for Advisory & Impact will play a key role providing research on social and environmental issues in Asia and organisations working to address them. As a lean, fast-paced start-up organisation, our interns should expect to multitask in a flexible environment in order to thrive. This is a great opportunity to develop and grow your research and engagement skills.
ACF is an independent, trusted giving platform that catalyzes funding at scale with informed, efficient grant-making for donors acting individually or collectively. Singapore-based, this charitable organisation supports individuals, families, and institutions as their trusted partner in purposeful philanthropy.
Established in 2022 by a group of philanthropists from Asia Philanthropy Circle, ACF was born out of the pressing need for a regional platform to facilitate cross-border giving in Asia. Our mission is to promote purposeful giving in Asia by connecting donors and nonprofits to achieve greater results than they could on their own. As a community, we believe that we can create positive change and address some of the most pressing socioeconomic and environmental issues facing Asia today.

Requirements
