4 weeks ago

Paterson, United States William Paterson University Full time

Thank you for your interest in working at William Paterson University.

William Paterson University invites applications for the full-time 12-month position of Associate Director of Annual Giving within the Office of Institutional Advancement.

Reporting to the Director of Annual Giving, the Associate Director of Annual Giving will participate in the development and implementation of the comprehensive annual fund solicitation program which includes personal visits, direct mail, phonathon, email, texting and crowdfunding.

The Associate Director will be responsible for securing leadership gifts to the Annual Fund at the $500 level and above. Gifts will include new, upgraded and renewal gifts across all University constituencies with a concentration on alumni.

Department overview:

William Paterson University is dedicated to student success. Here students are challenged academically, mentored by their professors, and learn to become leaders and productive citizens.

With state support declining, we are more dependent on private support to meet University needs. This includes resources for the classroom, student scholarships and financial support for student and faculty research that will prepare students to compete in their discipline.

Many of our students struggle to afford the cost of tuition and graduate with more debt than their predecessors. The Office of Institutional Advancement is dedicated to bridging that gap.
