JOB SUMMARY

The Director of Major Gifts (DMG) is responsible for the generation of philanthropic gifts at or above $100,000 primarily to support the College of Nursing and Health Sciences (CNHS). The DMG manages a portfolio of individual, corporate, and foundation major gift prospects and is responsible for cultivating relationships leading to impactful donor engagement and high-level financial commitments.

The DMG collaborates closely with the CNHS Dean and other academic leadership and must be committed to forging great working relationships and partnerships with key internal stakeholders across UVM, the UVMF, CNHS, and AHS (the Larner College of Medicine and the UVM Medical Center/UVM Health.)

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS

The DMG is fully dedicated to fundamental gift officer work, with a strong emphasis on fundraising productivity and enterprising activities to identify, cultivate and solicit CNHS alumni, family, and donors; deepen their relationship with UVM and their affinity for CNHS; and move them toward increased and sustained philanthropy.

75% Work with CNHS, UVM, and UVMF leadership to develop a compelling case for engagement and support that will attract major gift donors in a highly competitive philanthropic environment. As appropriate for the role, partner with designated CNHS and UVM and UVMF leaders to identify priority funding areas and align donor interests with appropriate opportunities. Foster a donor-centered philanthropic culture at CNHS to maximize the philanthropic potential of prospects.

10% Collaborate with UVMF leadership and central support units to elevate fundraising for CNHS and UVM. Work with the Prospect Development Team to identify and qualify new prospects, the Donor Relations Team to implement best stewardship and donor recognition practices, and the Communications Team to craft effective case statement, campaign, and other marketing materials.

10% Leverage prospect and donor relationships to increase engagement opportunities through a combination of on- and off-campus events, affinity programming, and student-centric or faculty-centric initiatives. Guide the fundraising focus and work of the CNHS Dean’s Advisory Board in partnership with the CNHS Dean and in alignment with the UVMF Board and UVMF Development Committee.

5% Other duties as assigned.

Specific standards of performance will be captured as metrics in an annual business plan.

Overnight travel, evenings, and weekend work will be required.
