The GAIT Foundation

GAIT pays tribute to the memory of former congressman Charles B. Rangel. David’s first steps on Capitol Hill were as an intern in The Chairman’s office representing New York’s 13th district. After David’s passing, Congressman Rangel was one of the charter sponsors of our efforts to create an internship in David’s name with the . His legacy lives on in the work we all do to bring people of color to the Hill.

We’re so proud to announce on his birthday, the David Baldwin Barnes Intern Stipend is open for applications!

Working without pay for several weeks is a barrier on the pathway to Capitol Hill for many young minority professionals. So GAIT is providing a $2,500 stipend to a Black unpaid congressional intern to support them this summer.

If you know an eligible intern, tell them to apply at theGAITfoundation.org/intern before August 14.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the campaign to raise funds to support initiatives like this. If you would like to contribute, visit theGAITfoundation.org/donate.
