To educate artists and creative professionals to be responsible contributors to society.
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 technologically savvy Donor Engagement Officer (Officer) to carry a high-volume portfolio of leadership annual giving prospects. The successful candidate will utilize technological tools and systems to lead identification, qualification, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship of a portfolio of alumni, parents, and friends of the Institute with capacity to make three- to five-figure gifts. The Officer will take technical actions to quickly assess a high volume of prospects, focused on qualifying prospects, upgrading existing donors, and migrating prospects into major gifts portfolios. 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.
