About Alison Harper

Born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, Alison developed a passion for fundraising as a student caller for her Alma Mater, UMKC. Upon graduation, Alison managed phone campaigns for higher education institutions in Bloomsburg, PA, Kansas City, MO, and eventually in Springfield, MO. After 6 years of setting strategy, managing hundreds of college students, and exceeding goal after goal, Alison took a behind the scenes role for fundraising campaigns. As a Project Manager, she managed over 20 higher education clients’ multi-channel campaigns.In 2018 Alison accomplished a lifelong career goal and became the Director of Annual Funds at Missouri State University. Since then, she has overseen multi-channel outreach to all constituencies at MSU. Having established Missouri State’s giving day, re-imagined faculty/staff giving, rebranded crowdfunding, and so much more, Alison looks forward to a new digital engagement environment for FY25.In the few precious spare moments, Alison enjoys spending time with her family and knowing too much about houseplants.
