Boston, Massachusetts, United States Suffolk University Full time
Position Overview:

Suffolk University, a prominent institution located in the heart of Boston, is seeking a dedicated professional to join its Advancement team. Established in 1906, Suffolk comprises three distinguished schools: the College of Arts & Sciences, Suffolk University Law School, and the Sawyer Business School.

With a network of 90,000 alumni who are both professionally accomplished and actively engaged in their communities, Suffolk is committed to fostering a robust Advancement program that aligns with the University's strategic vision.

The Summa Society at Suffolk University recognizes and honors those philanthropic leaders who significantly contribute to the educational mission of the University, ensuring that future generations of students benefit from their generosity.

As a key member of the Advancement team, the Philanthropy Officer will play a crucial role in expanding the Summa Society by securing annual contributions ranging from $1,000 to $25,000 through a well-defined fundraising strategy.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop and implement strategies to cultivate and solicit annual gifts of $1,000 to $25,000, supporting the University's strategic objectives.
  • Meet established revenue targets by building and nurturing relationships with leadership donors and managing a diverse portfolio of contributors.
  • Identify, engage, and steward current and prospective Summa donors through personalized outreach, including virtual meetings, phone calls, and written correspondence.
  • Foster long-term philanthropic partnerships with donors, collaborating closely with faculty, volunteers, and University administration.
  • Work alongside the Frontline Team to coordinate solicitation campaigns for Summa Society gifts, including regular communication and follow-up.
  • Utilize Raiser's Edge NXT and Microsoft Excel to monitor donor engagement and track progress towards fiscal goals.
  • Assist in organizing and executing cultivation and stewardship events for Summa level donors, which may require evening or weekend availability.
  • Maintain meticulous attention to detail in managing reports and developing solicitation strategies in collaboration with volunteers.
  • Actively participate in the University community by attending meetings and events, and engage in professional development to stay informed about industry trends.
Qualifications:

A Bachelor's degree and a minimum of 3-5 years of relevant experience in fundraising or a related field are required. The ideal candidate will possess a proven track record of building relationships with donors that result in significant contributions.

Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, are essential for inspiring and connecting with potential donors regarding Suffolk University's mission and community.

Strong organizational abilities, a commitment to confidentiality, and the capacity to manage multiple priorities are crucial for success in this role. The candidate should demonstrate a collaborative spirit and a proactive approach to problem-solving.

Familiarity with Microsoft Office, Teams, and Raiser's Edge or similar data management systems is preferred, along with proficiency in Microsoft Excel and basic data analytics skills. Experience in volunteer management is advantageous.

The candidate should be adaptable, high-energy, and possess a positive outlook, with a strong commitment to the University's diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
