Leadership Gifts Officer

A world-class and internationally ranked college with programs in art, design, architecture, liberal arts and sciences, and information studies, Pratt Institute (Pratt, the Institute) offers nearly 50 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Pratt is a renowned artist community that connects a diverse, generous, and creative student body with faculty who serve as active practitioners in their respective fields, creating an educational experience that aligns pedagogy with practicality to ensure student success in creative fields and professional practice.

Pratt is at an inflection point as an institution. The Institute is in the planning and feasibility process of an anticipated nine-figure comprehensive campaign. In parallel, Pratt seeks to deepen its philanthropic sources of support in the coming years to ensure that the team can achieve its goal of increasing operating and endowment funds.

Pratt seeks a driven and results-oriented Leadership Gifts Officer (Officer) to support the creation and execution of a robust, high-volume leadership annual giving program. The successful candidate will lead identification, qualification, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship of a portfolio of alumni, parents, and friends of the Institute with capacity to make four- to five-figure gifts. The Officer will be responsible for the efficient and timely qualification and cultivation of a large portfolio of leadership annual giving prospects, with a focus on retaining existing donors, upgrading giving, and securing first-time gifts. The successful candidate will report to the Director of Annual Giving and partner with them to create and implement a multi-year strategic plan for leadership annual giving.
