Associate Annual Giving Director, Athletics

The Associate Annual Giving Director (AAGD), Athletics spearheads all annual giving efforts for UNH Athletics and its various teams. Reporting to the Senior Director of Annual Giving and partnering with the centralized Annual Giving team members, the incumbent will help set Athletics’ annual giving strategy and execute a comprehensive annual giving program that reaches all constituencies (alumni, parents/families, students, friends, fans, staff, and other stakeholders) through omni-channel marketing and personal interactions (utilizing all available vehicles such as phone, email, mail, social media, and other digital methods). The AAGD will also liaison with the Athletic Director, coaches, staff and students across UNH Athletics to deeply integrate annual giving practices across the department, determine funding priorities, support their fundraising initiatives, and leverage their connections and motivations to expand the already robust annual giving program. Additionally, the AAGD will manage a portfolio of donors and prospects and work directly with individuals to secure financial contributions that will advance UNH Athletics and/or university’s mission and strategic plans. This entails identifying, cultivating, soliciting and stewarding prospects and continually improving relationships with all constituencies in ways that have a quantifiable impact on philanthropic revenue. These collective efforts will aim to capitalize on the energy of UNH Athletics’ passionate and spirited community and ultimately increase funds raised and the pipeline of donors.
