The USF Advancement Team
At the fastest-rising university in America, our passionate team continues the cycle of success by fostering an atmosphere of collaboration and innovation. University of South Florida (USF) Advancement connects the university with donors who want to make a difference by providing private, philanthropic support to promote student success, academic initiatives, research and other strategic priorities.
Our team encompasses alumni, development and foundation operations. This includes a team of approximately 175 professional staff, including 70 fundraising professionals, raising more than $100 million annually. USF Advancement works closely with the academic and health science deans, athletics and colleagues across our campuses in Tampa, Sarasota-Manatee and St. Petersburg.
In June 2017, the USF Foundation completed a $1 billion capital campaign. The University of South Florida’s endowment now exceeds $604 million in value.
