Donor Experience Officer @University of Nebraska Foundation

NE, US

As a Donor Experience Officer, I actively engage, manage, and build relationships with a portfolio of approximately 700 current and lapsed donor households. I do this through a high velocity outreach strategy that we call \"polite persistence.\" I aim to build rapport with donors through getting to know their stories and philanthropic passions, as well as through stewarding their previous support. Through building these relationships, I serve as a trusted philanthropic advisor, engaging and connecting donors to their passions throughout the University of Nebraska System so they accomplish impact that is meaningful to them. In my role, I am responsible for donor retention, upgrades, and major gift qualification. As I continue to grow relationships with our generous alumni and supporters, I partner with my colleagues across the Foundation to develop strategic next steps for cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding the donors in my portfolio that provides the best personalized donor experience for each individual. I also play an active role in the Giving Days across the four campuses within the University of Nebraska System through identifying and soliciting challenge donors to ensure engagement and promotion of the annual giving days, which include Glow Big Red, Wear Black Give Back, One Day for UNK, and UNMC \"For the Greater Good\".
