    Lead Transformational Giving as an Executive Gift Planning Officer

    Some conversations create opportunities. Others create legacies.

    As an Executive Gift Planning Officer, you'll partner with donors, families, and professional advisors to design charitable giving strategies that align personal values with lasting impact. This is an opportunity for a seasoned relationship builder to leverage expertise in estate planning, wealth management, financial planning, or charitable gift strategy while advancing the future of Kansas State University.

    In this highly visible role, you'll manage a portfolio of donors and prospects, develop sophisticated gift strategies, and guide conversations involving complex assets, estate planning vehicles, and transformational philanthropic investments. You will collaborate with university leaders, fundraising colleagues, and trusted advisors to cultivate major and planned gifts while serving as a subject matter expert across the organization.

    The ideal candidate is an experienced fundraiser who understands how to build trust with donors, navigate complex giving conversations, and inspire philanthropic investment. You bring both the relationship-building skills of a fundraising professional and the technical knowledge needed to discuss sophisticated, planned gift opportunities with confidence and credibility.

    What You'll Do

    • Manage a portfolio and qualify, cultivate, solicit, and steward gifts of $50,000+
    • Develop and execute tailored strategies for each prospect
    • Present planned giving options aligned to donor goals and financial situations
    • Collaborate with stakeholders to advance donor strategies
    • Travel to meet donors and build lasting, high-impact relationships
