The University of Toledo Foundation embraces diversity of pedagogy, religion, age, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, and political affiliation. Diversity is essential to the university's ability to survive and thrive.

The practice of equity equalizes the playing field resulting in an inclusive environment that provides opportunity for full participation in the classroom and on campus by each of its members. An inclusive university embraces differences and fosters a sense of belonging among all its members and the community.

A bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education and experience and at least 10 years of progressive leadership experience in advancement, fundraising, or development is preferred for this position. The University of Toledo Foundation will consider candidates with a broad range of backgrounds.

Cover letters should be responsive to the mission of The University of Toledo Foundation as well as the responsibilities and qualifications stated in the prospectus.

The salary range for this position is $160,000 to $200,000 annually.
