"Alumni Donor Acquisition Specialist"

The University Annual Giving Team (UAG) in the Office of University Development (OUD), is excited to add an Annual Giving Alumni Donor Acquisition Specialist to the team.

Reporting to the UAG Associate Director, you will support the broader fundraising community by focusing their efforts on philanthropically re-engaging alumni with the university. You will work across the university annual giving team to identify giving opportunities that may resonate with non-donor alumni. You will create content and manage standalone solicitation efforts to support those efforts. Also, you will help to develop reporting that assesses the efficacy of current donor acquisition efforts and identify additional opportunities to engage the alumni non donor population.

We require a cover letter for consideration. Please attach it as the first page of your resume and submit both as one document.
