Gift Revenue Records Coordinator

DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW

Advancement Services within Advancement is responsible for providing gift policy and infrastructure support in fundraising; processing, accounting for, and stewarding all charitable gifts to both UC San Diego and the UC San Diego Foundation; and overseeing the operations of the legally separate incorporated 501c3 charity, the UC San Diego Foundation.

These areas not only represent the highest risk fiduciary operations in Advancement and one of the highest risks on the campus, but they are also highly unique on the campus. No other campus unit has the delegated authority to process and receipt gifts or directly manage financial investments. The campus foundations are legally separate and have a separate fiduciary board of trustees.

Accordingly, due to the complex nature of operations and oversight for a foundation, the fiduciary risk, and the magnitude of funds involved, there are reputational, legal, IRS, accounting, and donor relations requirements that must be adhered to.
