I assisted the Database Administer in maintaining a database (The Raisers Edge) of over 41,000 constituent records including alumni, parents, foundations, and corporations. I single-handedly researched and managed a portfolio of over 40 foundations for solicitation on an annual basis. As Development Officer, I initiated, promoted, and implemented the University's first recurring giving program designed to recognize the University's history. Managing the stewardship of over 80 endowment donors and various annual donors throughout the year, I redesigned Reinhardt's reporting process to cater to the needs and interests of the donors. One of my proudest accomplishments during my tenure at the University, I created The Reinhardt Family Annual Scholarship to give faculty and staff the opportunity to see direct results of their annual campaign donations, raising over $13,000 in the first three months of the campaign. I began an on-campus stewardship initiative with current students to create awareness of the necessity of fundraising and encourage a culture of philanthropy through semi-annual events. Working collaboratively with our team, we increased attendance by 100% at the annual donor reception during a three-year period. I provided all areas of the campus with research and information regarding prospective foundations for solicitation gathered from an online database and in-house record keeping. Show less
