The University of Vermont Foundation seeks an experienced fundraising professional to fill a newly announced role of Director of Legacy Giving. The person in this position will be responsible for developing and implementing a comprehensive legacy / planned giving program at the Foundation. This role will also include marketing and communicating this program to constituents and coordinating outreach to reunion classes.
We seek a candidate with experience in gift planning mechanisms, such that they can work independently and help others learn about planned giving techniques. Demonstrated achievement in securing philanthropic gifts in the five+ figure range is preferred. This is an excellent opportunity for a self-starter with strong relationship-building skills and a desire to make a true difference in the lives of donors and the beneficiaries of gifts.
