Development & Executive Support

The Development & Executive Support interns play a key role across ADF’s artistic, administrative, and donor-facing areas.

Responsibilities include donor correspondence, database entry, grant report and proposal support, prospect research, in-kind donation management, and helping design and manage e-blasts. The interns also work closely with the ICR Program, Artists in Residence, and VIP guests, supporting rehearsal scheduling, guest itineraries, event logistics, and transportation needs. They assist with seasonal events and parties, providing an essential on-the-ground presence throughout the festival.

The ideal candidate is organized, detail-oriented, and personable, with the ability to adapt quickly to last-minute tasks and find fulfillment in supporting others. Professionalism and comfort in public and social settings are essential.

Experience with Google Workspace and Microsoft Word/Excel is required; stage management or RA experience is a plus. Flexibility is key, as early mornings, evenings, and weekend work are expected. Business casual attire is required for certain events. Must be 21 or over with a valid driver’s license and full access to a car.
