    Are you a skilled sales professional, account manager, or relationship builder looking to channel your talents into something truly meaningful? At the Kansas State University Foundation, we unite purpose-driven work and pioneering strategy to create careers that matter. Put your people skills and drive to work in major gift fundraising for the College of Veterinary Medicine , where you help advance excellence in animal health, biomedical research, and veterinary education that improve the lives of animals and people across Kansas and beyond.

    Why Make the Move? If you thrive in sales, account management, or similar roles, your strengths directly translate to success in major gift fundraising. Here, you'll leverage those essential client management skills, prospecting, relationship building, presenting proposals, and exceeding goals, to inspire and connect a network of passionate K-State alumni and donors who are committed to advancing veterinary medicine, supporting future veterinarians, and driving innovative research, education, and patient care that strengthen animal and public health.

    What You’ll Do

    • Proactively reach out to potential donors through calls and visits, qualifying prospects and cultivating relationships—just like in sales, but with a focus on legacy, not transactions.
    • Strategically present and solicit major gifts ($50,000+) through effective major gift fundraising proposals.
    • Manage multiple robust client (donor) relationships and regularly travel to meet face-to-face.
    • Work collaboratively with colleagues to develop strategies for meaningful major gift fundraising.
    • Keep all activity documented and outcomes measurable, recognizing and stewarding donors at every stage.
