NPTS Seeking Applicants for Gifts Officer

CHICAGO, IL (October 30, 2003) - North Park Theological Seminary (NPTS) is seeking applicants for a full-time position as Seminary Gifts Officer, according to NPTS president and dean John E. Phelan, Jr.

The Seminary Gifts Officer will carry out strategies for achieving annual development goals for NPTS, such as the Seminary Presidential Scholarships and Seminary Annual Fund. In particular, candidates must have experience in non-profit fund raising, a strong knowledge of the Evangelical Covenant Church, and a willingness to spend significant time away from NPTS traveling to prospective major donors.

The top priorities for this position include:

  • Helping plan strategies with the Director of Major Gifts and Seminary Advancement for identification, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship of major prospects
  • Managing a prospect load of individuals and churches capable of making gifts of $1,000 per year and greater
  • Helping carry out comprehensive acquisition activities within the greater potential audience for NPTS through events, referrals, self-selection, and other venues for broadcasting the Seminary story
  • Serving as day-to-day point of contact for development activities within the Seminary community.
Those applying for this position must have a Bachelor's degree, three to five years experience in major gifts or development work, strong communication skills and experience using data base programs for support of major gift programs and other development activities.

Previous Seminary Gifts Officer LeRoy Carlson served NPTS for 12 years and helped significantly increase the NPTS annual fund giving. He has accepted an interim pastoral position at Broadway Evangelical Covenant Church in Rockford, Illinois, beginning next month.

To apply for the position, submit a cover letter and resume to:

Human Resources North Park University 3225 West Foster Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60625-4895

Information can also be faxed to NPU Human Resources at 773-279-7951 or 773-279-7976. More information about the position can be found by calling NPTS at 773-244-6210 or checking the NPTS website at www.npcts.edu.
