Boston College Introduction

Founded in 1863, Boston College is a Jesuit, Catholic university located six miles from downtown Boston with an enrollment of 9,150 full-time undergraduates and 4,420 graduate and professional students. Ranked 31 among national universities, Boston College has 758 full-time and 1,096 FTE faculty, 2,750 non-faculty employees, an operating budget of $956 million, and an endowment in excess of $2.2 billion.

Job Description

The Development Assistant works alongside fundraisers, university colleagues and external constituents to develop, support and maintain programs and activities consistent with securing philanthropic support for Boston College Athletics. Primary responsibilities include: preparing materials for fundraiser prospect visits, making travel arrangements, completing transmittal forms for pledges and gifts received > $10,000, filing visit reports in the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) database, drafting gift acknowledgments, requesting prospect research, pulling donor or prospect information from various systems. Additionally, the Development Assistant will work closely with the Advancement Communication and Marketing team to manage the production of Athletics Development collateral.

Done well, these tasks assist fundraisers in identifying the most desirable prospects and donors to identify and schedule for local visits and regional trips and assists with the tracking of results. Development assistants also support the work associated with external constituents' visits to campus, meetings and special events, often interfacing with the Athletics Stewardship and Events team, to maximize event effectiveness within budgetary guidelines. Given the extensive independent contact with external constituents including alumni and parent volunteers, donors, and university officials, this position requires strong interpersonal and organizational skills with attention to detail and accuracy; excellent oral and written communications skills; and complete discretion regarding the handling and storing of confidential data.

Positions in Athletics Fundraising support up to three major giving officers and the Sr. Associate Athletics Director for Development. Fundraising work in this unit is focused on managing the qualification, solicitation and stewarding of individual giving from alumni, parents and friends for gifts between $100,000 and $1,000,000. Additionally, this position will interface frequently with members of the Athletics department and University Advancement. This work includes partnering with the Athletics Annual Fund and Athletics Stewardship staff, managing the production of Advancement briefings for the Director of Athletics, and producing fundraising progress reports for the Director of Athletics and other internal constituents.
