Promising and Powerful

With more than 70,000 students, the University of Central Florida is the largest university by enrollment in Florida and one of the biggest in the nation. It has more than 12,000 employees and an operating budget of $2.1 billion.

UCF attracts the brightest minds — in fall 2021, the freshman class had an average SAT combined score of 1325 — and the boldest opportunities.

We’re seeking qualified individuals with the passion and talent to help UCF Advancement fulfill its mission of encouraging, stewarding and celebrating charitable gifts from alumni, friends and partners in order to transform lives through philanthropy. We’re growing fast, and new positions open all the time.

 
 

It’s no exaggeration when we say that when you come to work for us, you’re joining one of the most exciting teams at UCF.

UCF Advancement’s leadership consists of a team of professionals with significant principal gifts, alumni relations, communications and campaign expertise. The team is committed to building an operation which embraces and defines industry best practices and to mentoring the next generation of talented professionals.

Most people think fundraising is about the dollars. But it’s really about what the dollars can do. That’s because our work centers on mission, impact and passion.

We do not just show people how to give – we help them see why it matters. In UCF Advancement we have the privilege of building lasting and trusting relationships with donors who share a passion for the organization we serve and the philanthropy to make a difference.

We look forward to the impact you will have on Knight Nation!
