Summer Intern

WHO WE ARE:

Act Blue is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating cutting‑edge technology that fuels Democratic victories and enables progressive causes to thrive.

Our vision is simple: building change through the power of people. Since our founding, we’ve been building innovative solutions to revolutionize grassroots fundraising – if you’ve donated to a Democratic campaign or a progressive organization online, you’ve probably used our platform! We believe in putting power in the hands of small‑dollar donors by helping thousands of groups — from local candidates to national movements — mobilize their communities and create a lasting impact.

Every member of our team is deeply committed to advancing our shared mission and core values. Together, we are shaping the future of democracy.
