    Job Description


    THE ORGANIZATION

    The Fuller Foundation is an independent Christian philanthropic services organization that provides financial support for Fuller Theological Seminary through annual and endowment fundraising, gift planning, capital campaign management, and funding for restricted purposes.

    Founded in 1987 and located in Pasadena, CA, the Foundation also offers estate planning, charitable trust administration, donor-advised funds, endowment management, and investment management services for Fuller's supporters.

    The Fuller Foundation purview further encompasses Fuller's extensive alumni relations programs, serving Fuller's more than 40,000 alumni globally.

    Fuller Theological Seminary, the organization that the Fuller Foundation serves and supports, has had a global impact and rich history throughout its 75-year history.

    Today, its focus is to offer God's hope and healing in the world. One of the largest

    multidenominational

    seminaries in the world, Fuller serves 3,000 students and learners from 90 countries and 110 denominations.

    Two schools (School of Psychology & Marriage and Family Therapy, and the School of Mission & Theology), multiple locations, and many renowned centers and institutions enable Fuller to offer a full range of master's and doctoral programs in traditional, cohort-based, and virtual settings.

    Fuller further offers resources and significant formation and equipping opportunities for Christians who are not on a degree-track but are interested in deeper embodiment of their faith.

    From founder Charles E.

    Fuller's original vision until now, Fuller Seminary's core commitment has remained the same:
    equipping leaders with minds for scholarship and hearts for the unchanging, saving gospel of Jesus Christ.

    THE OPPORTUNITY
