Director of Donor Relations

The Director of Donor Relations will ensure that all donors experience high-quality interactions with the university through cultivation, stewardship and experiences illustrating the impact of the donor investment. The Director will create and implement the strategy to support this mission and think creatively to design experiences that enrich and strengthen the donors' relationship with the university, creating one-time and/or ongoing personalized opportunities, and demonstrating UNC Asheville as an institution where donors can make a meaningful impact. The Director will identify ways that appropriately and consistently promote recognition of donors at all levels and will be responsible for gift agreements, endowment reports, and other ways to illustrate impact of donor philanthropy.

As the university looks towards its first comprehensive campaign the Director will have a critical role in stewarding donors and identifying needs for the campaign and the university to support the overall strategy of a donor experience; documenting donor intentions; implementing best practices; and working collaboratively across campus and within University Advancement to meet these objectives.

The Director will be responsible for supervising the responsibilities of a Donor Relations Coordinator.
