Associate Director Philanthropy, Ovc
3 weeks ago
**Department**: OVC Advancement
This position is represented by the agreement between the Professional Staff Association and the University of Guelph
Temporary full-time from 03/02/2025 to 03/05/2028
**General Purpose**
Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment, value creativity and innovation, and are eager to make a meaningful impact on veterinary medicine and health research as a philanthropic matchmaker?
The Alumni Affairs and Development (AA&D) team and the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) at the University of Guelph are seeking a passionate and innovative Associate Director of Philanthropy (ADP), OVC to support OVC’s Healthy Futures Strategic Plan and the fundraising efforts associated with the construction of a new Medical and Surgical Learning Centre. This leadership role will develop OVC’s major and principal gift pipeline and will manage a fundraising team.
In AA&D, we advance the University of Guelph’s mission by building lifelong connections with alumni, donors, and friends. As such the ADP, OVC, will embody our core values of respect, empowerment, integrity, appreciation, and forward focus. Our vision is for the University of Guelph to be personally relevant in the lives of our community members. Through these relationships, we amplify the impact of philanthropy to create unique solutions for the challenges facing our world.
The Ontario Veterinary College is a global leader in veterinary medicine and health research. At OVC, we are committed to improving the health of animals, people, and our planet. We educate the next generation of health leaders and provide high-value experiential learning opportunities through an interdisciplinary, comparative approach. Joining our team means creating real-world solutions to real-world problems.
**Duties and Responsibilities**
Reporting to the Director of OVC Advancement and working closely with the OVC Advancement team, the Associate Director of Philanthropy (ADP), is responsible for major gift and principal gift fundraising (contributions of $100,000 or greater) for the Ontario Veterinary College and management of a team of three to five fundraising staff members. The ADP is expected to personally generate a minimum of $1.5 million in new major gifts and pledges annually and, as a philanthropic team, secure $4M annually in revenue.
The ADP will work closely to advance OVC’s top priorities with an external audience ranging from alumni, corporations and friends of the University of Guelph. This occurs through donor qualification, cultivation, solicitation and stewardship. More specifically, the responsibilities of the ADP include:
- Identifying, cultivating, soliciting and stewarding major and principal-level donors and prospects through the fundraising cycle.
- Maintaining a robust pipeline of 40-60 major and principal-level donors
- Preparing briefing materials to support Senior Administration (President, VPs, AVPs, Deans, Directors) fundraising activity.
- Collaborating with the Director, Advancement (OVC) and other internal partners to identify university priorities that will resonate with donors e.g. faculty support, and capital projects.
- Creating and presenting materials to advance fundraising asks and negotiating the closure of major and principal level gifts, including the creation of gift agreements and other supporting documentation.
- Managing a team of three to five development staff members which may include recruitment and training.
The ADP will also undertake complex planned giving discussions with donors, friends and alumni in order to promote planned giving as a means to achieve OVC’s fundraising priorities and create a legacy for donors on campus.
The ADP will also participate in the stewardship of alumni, friends and corporations, and work closely with the OVC Stewardship Engagement Manager. This includes taking personal leadership on gift announcements/communications and supporting OVC partners to implement gifts.
Working collaboratively with the Alumni Advancement Manager, the ADP will help identify alumni for major gift cultivation and ensure that major gift alumni are engaged in college events.
In addition to these responsibilities, the ADP will contribute to strategic planning for OVC and other University initiatives along with fellow members of the OVC Advancement team. The ADP, in collaboration with the Director, will help to develop and implement a long-term fundraising strategy for OVC aligned with the overall AA&D multi-year and annual strategic plans, and work with other members of the team to implement the various projects and initiatives reflected in the strategic plan.
We believe that fundraising is a team sport and building strong internal relationships is key to success. The ADP will work collaboratively with both the Alumni Affairs and Development team members as well as the OVC External Relations team members.
**Requirements**:
- A minimum of 6 years of experience in University or other public sector
