Assistant Director of Annual Giving

Are you a strategic, data-driven marketing and fundraising professional who loves turning insights into action, building meaningful connections, and inspiring people to give back?

The Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association (WFAA)*, the private fundraising and alumni relations organization for UW-Madison, is seeking an Assistant Director of Annual Giving to help strengthen a culture of philanthropy and alumni engagement. In this highly collaborative role, you will help shape and execute integrated annual giving campaigns that connect alumni and friends to the impact of UW-Madison, deepen donor relationships, and advance meaningful philanthropic support. This opportunity is ideal for a creative, analytical, and relationship-oriented professional who enjoys developing targeted outreach strategies, optimizing campaign performance, and bringing fresh ideas to audience engagement.

The Assistant Director will develop and manage targeted annual giving efforts that encourage participation from alumni and friends. Working closely with annual giving teammates and colleagues across WFAA, this role will build and execute thoughtful engagement and solicitation strategies across multiple channels as part of the Annual Campaign, a year-long fundraising cycle. This is a hybrid position that will require you to work weekly in our Madison, WI office location.
