Baptist Foundation of Illinois (BFI) is pleased to announce the availability of our Executive Leadership Internship Program beginning January 2020 for college seniors or seminary students. The internship program has three goals: A. Provide an opportunity for exploration of ministry calling in financial stewardship and generosity leadership. B. Provide practical education in the fourteen identified disciplines necessary for effective denominational foundation leadership, many of which are applicable in other development and communications positions as well (Pastoral Communications, Managerial Accounting, Estate Planning, Mortgage/Loan Process, Trust Law, Fund Accounting, Planned Giving, Pastoral Care, Real Estate Law, Marketing Analytics, Marketing/Communications, Elder Law/POA Statutes, Non-Profit Fundraising, Other Custodial Investing). C. Cultivate and identify candidates for career employment as a manger with BFI or similar ministry. The internship program is offered in two tracks. First, an intern may work during a single semester. This option is more fast-paced and requires two days on site per month. These days would be followed by a written report and a post report video conference. A stipend of $500 per month will be provided and travel expense (ground) will be reimbursed within a 200 mile radius from Springfield, Illinois. The second track is offered across two academic semesters, requires one day per month on site, and the follow-up/reinforcing activities outlined above. For the two semester option the stipend will be reduced to $250 per month and includes travel reimbursement as described above. Finally, although this internship may be offered independent of academic credit, BFI believes this program will be most effective when academic institutions partner with us, recognizing the internship as fulfillment of an academic requirement. This may include various departments in a cross-disciplinary manner, i.e. religion, business, and/or communications.  Interested in applying or learning more?
