Non-Profit Sector Career Possibilities

In addition to appointments within the United States government, the non-profit sector (organizations with 501 (c) 3 status)offers a wide array of professional positions in research, administration, education, and exhibition design. Many historians work in fundraising for these organizations.

History majors in particular are well-suited for appointments within the following institutions:

  Historical commissions, associations, and societies
  Scholarly and professional associations
  Galleries and museums
  Colleges and universities
  Research foundations and institutional "think tanks"
  Service institutions (agencies, foundations, etc.)
  Other philanthropic organizations which provide educational, social, and cultural services to the public)
