Background

About Corey Formica

I'm a fundraising and alumni engagement professional with 15+ years of experience in higher education advancement, with a focus on leadership annual giving, gift planning, and alumni relations. Throughout my career, I've been driven by a simple but powerful goal: to create meaningful connections that inspire generosity, build community, and support lasting impact. In my current role in university fundraising, I work to align donor passions with institutional priorities through thoughtful relationship-building and strategic engagement. I believe the most powerful philanthropy happens when people feel genuinely seen, valued, and connected to a greater purpose. Outside of work, I’m deeply committed to health, wellness, and lifelong learning. These values inform how I show up in every space—with empathy, clarity, and a strong belief in the potential of others. Whether I’m supporting donors, colleagues, or my community, I aim to lead with intention and make a positive difference wherever I can.
