About InReach

We are InReach, a trans-led tech nonprofit building the world’s first open source verified LGBTQ+ resource platform. InReach is available on web (desktop and mobile), native iOS, and Android. Our vision is to ensure every trans and queer person has on-demand access to the safe resources they need to thrive. Over 420,000 people have used InReach to access verified LGBTQ+ resources.

About the Role

As a Fundraising & Giving Campaigns Intern, you are not just supporting our fundraising efforts. You are a vital part of sustaining and expanding InReach’s impact and long-term vision. Our Fundraising & Giving Campaigns Interns help power the campaigns, donor relationships, and storytelling efforts that make the InReach platform possible. We deeply value the time, skills, and lived experience each intern brings, and your work will directly support the funding that allows trans and queer people to access safe, affirming resources when they need them most.

Through your fundraising, outreach, and donor engagement efforts, you will help support:

LGBTQ+ people accessing life-saving resources through InReach’s open source, verified platform.

Trans and queer communities impacted by anti-LGBTQ+ legislation through expanded access to legal, housing, and healthcare support.

Trans masculine people and communities uplifted through trans-led storytelling, visibility, and resource access via the #TransMascFutures campaign.

InReach’s bold goal to connect 1 million LGBTQ+ people to safe, affirming resources by 2030.

This is an exciting opportunity to gain hands-on experience in nonprofit fundraising, donor engagement, digital campaigns, and LGBTQ+ and trans justice work while supporting a critical, trans-led technology nonprofit.
