Overview:

The Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association (WFAA)*, the private fundraising and alumni relations organization for UW-Madison, is recruiting for a Stewardship Program Manager.

The Stewardship Program Manager is an integral data and process-oriented role on the Central Stewardship Team.

Who is WFAA?
The Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association is a private, nonprofit corporation that encourages individuals and organizations to make gifts to the university and to connect with the UW. In 2014, the UW Foundation merged with the Wisconsin Alumni Association to better serve a growing population of UW alumni and donors.

We provide important engagement opportunities to link UWMadison alumni to each other and to their alma mater, building a strong community of Badgers.

Diversity and Inclusion:
