The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with the United
States Naval Academy Alumni Association and Foundation in the
search for a Principal Gift Strategist/Senior Writer.
Reporting to the Vice President, Development, the Principal Gift
Strategist/Senior Writer will maximize complex, life-long
relationships between principal gift donors and prospective donors
and the Naval Academy. As a key member of the Principal Gifts team,
the Principal Gift Strategist/Senior Writer will provide key
analytic, project management, and strategic writing support. The
Principal Gift Strategist/Senior Writer will operate independently
and as an integral member of a team, while taking on a variety of
assigned tasks and projects as a partner in building and advancing
donors' relationships with the Alumni Association and Foundation
and the Naval Academy.
The Foundation is currently concluding the public phase of its
comprehensive campaign, Called to Serve, Daring to Lead,
which has raised more than $530 million in support of the Academy
and its students. Principal Gifts have played a key role in the
success of the campaign and, more importantly, have afforded Naval
Academy leadership with the private gift resources to launch and
enhance key strategic initiatives and programs, such as the Center
for Cyber Security Studies and International Programs. As the
Academy looks to the future, it is now more important than ever to
build life-long relationships with alumni, parents, and friends who
have the passion, dedication, and capacity to make a
transformational impact at the Naval Academy. The Principal Gift
Strategist/Senior Writer will be part of, and help support, a
high-performing team of fundraisers and development professionals
who will play a vital role in the success of philanthropic
partnerships and leadership.
The United States Naval Academy Alumni Association and the United
States Naval Academy Foundation are two independent, not-for-profit
corporations sharing a single President and CEO and operating as a
fully integrated organization in support of the Naval Academy and
its mission.
The United States Naval Academy Alumni Association and Foundation
is committed to treating all with dignity and respect, and
affording equal opportunity to everyone to reach their full
potential. It attracts people who are looking for a working
environment where initiative and integrity prevail. It expects that
certain principles will always be present in its relationships with
its employees, members, and suppliers.
Consistent with the United States Naval Academy's commitment to
careers of naval service and the highest responsibilities of
command, citizenship, and government, the Alumni Association and
Foundation encourage applications from US Naval Academy Graduates
and other veterans meeting qualifications for the position,
especially those with a record of consistent volunteer engagement
with USNA Alumni Association or Foundation or in support
of USNA.
A bachelor’s degree is required for this position as is at least
five years of leadership fundraising or advancement services
experience. All applications must be accompanied by a cover letter
and résumé. The cover letter should be responsive to the mission of
the United States Naval Academy Alumni Association and
Foundation.
