    Stewardship Program Manager - Madison, United States - Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association

    Default job background
    Description

    Overview:

    The Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association (WFAA)*, the private fundraising and alumni relations organization for UW-Madison, is recruiting for a Stewardship Program Manager.

    The Stewardship Program Manager is an integral data and process-oriented role on the Central Stewardship Team. The Stewardship Program Manager is a key member and will partner with WFAA staff to lead the annual Endowment Financial Report process, serve as the program owner for stewardship aspects of the scholarship platform, lead key training sessions, and serve as a subject matter expert on acknowledgements. This position will also partner closely with the Director of Stewardship on execution of ongoing stewardship enhancements. This position is a hybrid role and will require you to work in the office at least two days weekly.

    Who is WFAA?
    The Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association 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 UWMadison. We provide important engagement opportunities to link UWMadison alumni to each other and to their alma mater, building a strong community of Badgers.

    Diversity and Inclusion:

    Just as the university community benefits from differing viewpoints, perspectives, and experiences, inclusion and diversity are imperative for the success of our mission.
