- Prepare reports showing the status, availability, and use of donations and restricted funds.
- Communicate with departments when major gifts, grants, or endowments are received to support their areas.

- Build strong working relationships with department leaders, vendors, and other internal and external partners.
- Provide additional project and administrative support to the Development team as needed.
