Job Description

Mountain America Foundation Data & Operations Intern

Location: Sandy, UT (Hybrid option available)

Time commitment: 12 hours per week, $18/hour

Duration: May 11 – August 7 (13 weeks)

The Mountain America Foundation Data & Operations Intern will support the Foundation and Government Affairs team through a balanced combination of data analysis and day-to-day Foundation operations. This role is intentionally designed as a 50/50 position, with approximately half of the intern’s time focused on data management and reporting, and half focused on program operations, logistics, events, and administrative support.

This position is ideal for a candidate who already brings foundational data skills and is eager to apply them in a hands-on, mission-driven environment while also supporting the operational execution of Foundation programs. This internship provides meaningful, resume-building experience at the intersection of data-driven decision-making and nonprofit operations. The intern will gain exposure to foundation grantmaking, scholarship administration, and community impact measurement while working closely with experienced Foundation and Government Affairs professionals.

To be effective, an individual must be able to perform each job duty successfully.
