About The Position

The Director of Resource Development serves in the Division of Athletics. The position will report to the Executive Director of the Bear Foundation for Baylor Athletics and serve as a gift officer with a primarily focus on leadership annual gifts. The Bear Foundation is the primary fundraising organization for Baylor Athletics and supports 500 plus student-athletes across all 19 intercollegiate sports. Our mission is to provide scholarship funds for Baylor's student-athletes and to support and promote the interest and welfare of Baylor Athletics.

From academics and athletic performance to spiritual growth and community involvement, your giving helps us in our mission of Preparing Champions for Life. The department's ability to carry out the vision of Preparing Champions for Life hinges on a collective commitment to live by One Standard - to faithfully steward the authentic pursuit of competitive excellence through Christ. In upholding this standard, the department has committed to be in One Accord on six scripturally based operating principles and 18 associated core values.
