Company Profile
University of Florida Advancement
Company Overview
The Gator good is no accident. To serve, to teach and to discover requires champions — advocates who espouse the cause. That’s where UF Advancement comes in. We engage alumni and students, parents and friends, foundations, and corporations to partner with UF and move the university forward. And, more importantly, to address the things that are important to UF and its donors. Things like scholarships for Gators who might otherwise be left out because of college costs, professorships that attract and retain faculty stars, initiatives that empower the university to focus on real issues and societal problems, and innovative research that changes how our families and neighbors experience life.
Our team of Advancement professionals – from front-line fundraisers to data scientists to creative services – is the galvanizing force behind a transformed University of Florida. When you join the Advancement team, you are actively engaging alumni, students, parents and friends, foundations, and corporations to address the things that are important to UF and its donors.

Company History
We are a team of optimists and believers: dreamers and doers who come to work each day knowing that if we do a good job, someone else’s life will be better. We believe commitment matters, relationships and partnerships make us all stronger, and people rally around big ideas.
Those truths are the core of University Advancement. We know that when donors and the university come together to enlighten and explore, the beneficiaries are families and communities, and people the world over. UF Advancement bridges the gap between great and exceptional. State funding alone is roughly 18 percent of the university’s annual budget; private giving is often the difference between doing or not doing, exploring or not exploring, discovering or not discovering, and solving or not solving.
Notable Accomplishments / Recognition
The University of Florida’s record-setting Go Greater campaign topped $4.6 billion when it concluded on Dec. 31, 2022, making it one of the most successful campaigns in all of academia. Almost 300,000 donors and close to 2,000 campaign volunteers invested in students, professors, initiatives, and discoveries. Go Greater’s grand total is among the most ever raised at a public university, the largest in the history of the state of Florida, and the highest among SEC schools. But we are not resting on success. We are looking ahead to what’s next, because, above all, UF is a place of purpose, relentlessly focused on serving the state, nation, and world.
