Background

About Jay Meyers

With over a decade of experience in fundraising and development, I am a passionate and strategic leader who drives impactful initiatives that support the mission and vision of the University of Maryland. As the Director of Leadership Annual Giving, I oversee two teams. The Leadership Annual Giving team is a group of frontline fundraisers who discover, qualify, cultivate, and steward relationships with donors, alumni, and partners who contribute to the university's excellence and diversity. I also built and manage our Donor Experience Officer (DXO) Team who are digital-first fundraisers that actively manage a portfolio of prospects each by leveraging a systematic cadence, incorporating a robust digital approach and intentional engagement (virtual visits, touchpoints, etc.) in an effort to develop the pipeline of the next generation of supporters of the university. I have a strong background in major gifts, institutional giving, and donor engagement, as well as an MBA in executive management from Ohio University. I am proud to be part of a dynamic and inclusive organization that fosters a culture of excellence, innovation, and service.
