The Development Office

Just some info about the specific area of the ASU Foundation that I work in. I'm in the Development Office of the Foundation, which essentially focuses on fundraising. We're on the top floor of the Fulton Center. The Development Office is divided into different teams: Individual Giving, Foundation Relations, Corporate Relations, Constituent Development and Estate & Gift Planning. The team names pretty much explain what they do, but briefly: Individual Giving is made up of gift officers that handle individual prospective donors; Foundation Relations deals with grants and partnerships with other foundations; Corporate Relations deals with grants and partnerships from companies and businesses; Constituent Development deals with fundraising for each of the "units" at ASU (i.e. Law, Public Programs, Engineering etc...) and Estate & Gift Planning mostly handles donors who would like to put ASU in their will or give real estate. My position is designed to support the Individual Giving team, but I've worked with pretty much all of the teams in some capacity or another, not to mention other departments such as Marketing & Communication and Research & Operations.
