The Indiana University Foundation (IUF) is committed to advancing Indiana University by inspiring generosity, strengthening relationships, and supporting opportunities that create lasting impact for students, faculty, alumni, donors, and communities. As part of the IU advancement community, IUF helps connect people to the programs, initiatives, and ideas that move Indiana University forward.

The Indiana University Foundation is seeking a Donor Experiences and Events Assistant to help turn private support into impact by keeping the donor experiences, recognition activities, and events that connect people to Indiana University running smoothly.

A major part of your work involves event support, managing timelines and run-of-show documents, handling nametags, coordinating catering, and being present onsite. After events wrap, you compile reports and enter attendance information into the donor database. You bring a service-oriented mindset to this work, staying detail-focused and collaborative to make sure nothing slips and every event reflects well on IUF.

You also keep the department running smoothly day-to-day by coordinating the purchasing of event supplies and department materials, maintaining stock levels and storage areas, monitoring equipment, and handling department accounting from check requests and invoice follow-up to travel reimbursements. You're the go-to person colleagues rely on to keep things organized, current, and ready, managing shared inboxes, keeping forms and procedures accurate, and staying sharp on the technology that supports the team's work.

Beyond just your team, you will work with colleagues across the university and with external vendors and partners who help bring events to life. If you like organizing moving parts, thrive when plans pivot, and take pride in watching an event come together, we encourage you to apply today.
