Reporting to the Senior Director of Individual Giving & Regional Advancement, the Assistant Director of Individual Giving and Regional Advancement helps to grow the Fordham giving program, which supports nearly all schools, centers, and units across the University. Grounded in cura personalis (care for the whole person), the Assistant Director is charged with identifying, cultivating, soliciting, and closing gift commitments in the $5,000+ range; retaining and increasing giving from existing donors; increasing donors and dollars from President’s Club and Doty Society donors; and meeting the fundraising goals and objectives established for the University. 

Operating within a dedicated geographic region, this role will champion the University’s vision by balancing frontline relationship-building with data-driven strategy to build a robust local pipeline of support. The Assistant Director works collaboratively to drive leadership annual giving outreach and assist in developing intimate cultivation events that unite and inspire donors around our shared commitment to educational excellence. 

Travel and evening/weekend work is required.
