Donor Communications Officer - Annual Fund

Location: Indianapolis

We are seeking a strategic, self-driven, and donor-obsessed fundraising professional to own and execute the Annual Fund strategy for IU Health Foundation. Operating with significant autonomy, this person will coordinate closely with the Director of Donor Communications, the Foundation's data analytics partner, and the broader Foundation calendar to deliver campaigns that are compelling, well-timed, and measurably effective.

This role leads Annual Fund strategy execution and donor engagement for IU Health Foundation, including:

• Owning end-to-end execution of Annual Fund campaigns targeting donor segments in the $1–$1,000 range
• Managing and growing the Heart of IU Health team member giving campaign - a significant, high-visibility initiative
• Developing and managing segmented, multi-channel fundraising campaigns via mailers and other outreach channels
• Overseeing donor segments across patient donors, team member donors, and external/other donors
• Coordinating campaign timing with the full Foundation calendar to align with events and programming themes
• Collaborating with the Foundation's data analytics partner on segmentation and campaign performance
• Partnering with internal stakeholders to create compelling donor communications and stewardship experiences
• Tracking and reporting on donor acquisition and retention metrics to evaluate campaign effectiveness
