As head of Advancement, I see the Development and Alumni Coordinator as a key role that strengthens the foundation of our fundraising work. This position ensures excellence in the behind-the-scenes work of gift processing, donor data, reporting, and stewardship, allowing our team to engage donors with greater clarity, responsiveness, and care. By supporting campaigns, coordinating communications, and helping steward relationships, this role enables our advancement efforts to function smoothly and strategically.
Just as importantly, the coordinator helps cultivate a deeper sense of connection between the seminary and those who support its mission. Through thoughtful communication, alumni engagement, and donor care, this role helps ensure that every supporter feels valued and connected to the work God is doing through the institution.
The Development and Alumni Coordinator supports the Advancement team through accurate gift processing, database management, donor reporting, keeping track of alumni relations and administrative coordination. This role ensures strong stewardship practices, assists with capital campaign and event execution, and equips gift officers with the information and logistical support needed to advance the institution’s fundraising mission
