Identify and address underutilized or misaligned fund usage, recommending corrective actions or alternative strategies as needed to support transparent communications with donors.

Collaborate with Financial Aid and Scholarships to ensure student awards from donor-supported scholarships comply with criteria outlined in agreement.

Foundation Operations

Assist in the development, review, and implementation of operational policies and procedures that promote transparency and stewardship of philanthropic assets.
