The Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association (WFAA), )*, the private fundraising and alumni relations organization for the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is recruiting for a passionate and driven development professional to support the School of Education (SoE). The Director of Development is responsible for qualifying, cultivating, soliciting and stewarding major gift prospects for the SoE. This position will be a combination of remote, in-office, and on-site work environments.
The SoE and many of its programs are widely regarded as being among the very best in the nation. In addition to our high-quality academic programs, the people that make up the School are addressing some of society’s most critical needs and furthering their fields—our renowned faculty, staff, and students conduct innovative research and scholarship that is driven by the Wisconsin Idea and the conviction that the work they do should benefit Wisconsin, the country, and the world. Offers a broad and diverse array of undergraduate and graduate programs — from elementary and secondary education, educational policy and leadership, and special education and counseling; to studio art, modern dance, and theatre; to exercise science and occupational therapy.
The Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association (WFAA) 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 believe that private support grows out of good relationships between campus leaders, faculty and program staff who need support, and the alumni and friends who want to invest in UW–Madison. We provide important engagement opportunities to link UW–Madison alumni to each other and to their alma mater, building a strong community of Badgers.
Just as the university community benefits from differing viewpoints, perspectives, and experiences, inclusion and diversity are imperative for the success of our mission. WFAA values people and the differences that they bring to the organization, and creates an environment in which all staff members and constituents feel respected and have opportunities to thrive.
