Brettschneider Executive Search is pleased to welcome nominations and applications for the inaugural Senior Vice President of Advancement at Wilmington University — a rare opportunity to build and lead an advancement function from the ground up at an institution on a clear upward trajectory. Candidates seeking fullest consideration are encouraged to submit their applications by November 20.
This is a compelling moment for accomplished fundraising professionals across the higher education, nonprofit, healthcare, and foundation sectors to bring their experience to a growing institution with an ambitious vision for the future. As the first to hold this role, the SVP will have the opportunity to shape strategy, build a team, and define how WilmU engages its donors and community for years to come.
WilmU is a nationally recognized, accredited private nonprofit institution headquartered just 35 minutes from #Philadelphia. Serving 18,000 students annually, the University offers more than 200 career-relevant programs, including over 150 fully online programs.
The University is experiencing strong institutional momentum, including the continued expansion of its Brandywine campus — which will nearly double WilmU’s footprint and create significant naming opportunities — and provisional accreditation from the American Bar Association for the Wilmington University Farnan School of Law. For the right leader, it’s a chance to steward philanthropy at a pivotal, high-growth chapter in the University’s history.
The full leadership profile and application details are available at www.brettsearch.com/wilmu.
Please share this opportunity with accomplished fundraising leaders who may be interested in joining Wilmington University at this important moment in its growth.
