The North America Fundraising Residency Program is a unique opportunity to develop a range of skills and experience while performing a yearlong residency at a host institution in North America. In addition, residents benefit from access to professional development at CASE’s Summer Institute, a designated CASE district conference, webinars and mentoring. Residents have the opportunity to build an invaluable, supportive network of peers.

July 2020 – June 2021.

Residents work within assigned area(s) of an advancement office of an educational institution, gaining experience and developing skills in prospect management, annual giving, stewardship, fundraising campaigns, major gifts, events and partnerships. The breadth of the experience provides residents with a well-rounded view of fundraising within education and the role it plays in supporting institutions. Selected residents receive:

• Employment as a resident by a host university on a 50‐week contract. Residents receive salary and benefits determined by their host institution placement in conjunction with the institution’s entry-level pay and grading structure.

• Professional development from CASE including CASE’s flagship conference on educational fundraising (SIEFR) and one designated CASE district conference. Participation in online professional development, including CASE online courses, webinars and career seminars.

• A built-in two-week exchange during the residency, in which the resident will have the opportunity to work at an exchange institution or department (college, school or unit), giving the resident a different advancement training to enrich the resident’s experience.

• A cohort experience, in which residents will work together on a meaningful research project on an advancement topic throughout the year.

• A mentor, along with networking opportunities via CASE e-Mentoring and access to CASE professional communities.

• Connection to a designated talent management/career coach.

• Yearlong membership to CASE and a CASE book allowance.

• Applicants must obtain a baccalaureate degree prior to the first day of the residency orientation (July 2020).
• Must be interested in entering the education fundraising profession.
• The resident cannot currently be a full-time permanent employed at the host institution.
• Must be eligible to work in the United States or Canada without sponsorship.
