University of Louisville.

The challenge.

The University of Louisville is one of the city's largest employers, anchor research institutions, and a major driver of regional economic and cultural impact. Higher-ed development at U of L's scale spans capital projects, named giving, athletics, scholarship endowments, college-specific priorities, and centralized foundation operations — and requires fundraising counsel that can move between unit-level realities and university-wide strategy.

What we did.

• Provided strategic counsel on fund-development strategy and donor engagement
• Supported coordination across colleges, units, and central foundation operations
• Advised on case-for-support development and donor stewardship for major gifts
• Helped align unit-level priorities with university-wide fundraising goals

What’s true now.

U of L remains one of JP Davis Partners' anchor higher-ed engagements in the Louisville market — specifics on programmatic outcomes and dollar figures available on request and with university confirmation.
