Development Database Administrator

Organization: Thomas Jefferson Foundation

Date Posted: August 10, 2026

 

About the Thomas Jefferson Foundation

The Thomas Jefferson Foundation has a twofold mission of preservation and education, and was incorporated in 1923 to preserve Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, in Charlottesville, Virginia. Today, the Foundation seeks to bring history forward into national and global dialogues by engaging audiences with Jefferson's world and ideas, and sharing the history of everyone, enslaved and free, who lived and labored at Monticello. Monticello is recognized as a National Historic Landmark, a United Nations World Heritage Site and a Site of Conscience.

Development Database Administrator (Full-time)

Purpose:

The Development Database Administrator is responsible for the integrity, structure, and effective use of the Development department's donor database. This position serves as the department's primary database authority, ensuring that donor and gift data are accurate, consistently maintained, and actionable in support of the Foundation's fundraising program. The Administrator also serves a critical internal controls function, providing independent batch review and verification of gift processing activity and serving as the department's primary liaison with Accounting on matters of gift data and financial reconciliation. As the department builds toward a major campaign, this role will supervise a Development Coordinator and increasingly support data analysis and prospect research functions that inform portfolio management and donor strategy.

 

Compensation

$60,100 - $67,600

  

We will look to you to:

  • Serve as the department's primary database authority, ensuring that donor and gift data are accurate, consistently maintained, and actionable in support of the Foundation's fundraising program.

    • Serve as the primary independent reviewer in the department's gift processing cycle, conducting batch review and verification of gift entries prior to committal. As a matter of standard practice, this position does not serve as the reviewer of batches personally entered; review responsibility in those instances rotates to the Development Coordinator or another designated staff member.
    • Assist with gift entry as a secondary and backup function when processing volume or staffing requires it, with the understanding that any batches entered by this position are subject to review by another staff member before committal.
    • Conduct regular audits of gift records to ensure that data entered into the database is accurate, complete, and consistent with supporting documentation.
    • Perform monthly reconciliation with the Accounting department, serving as the primary development liaison on gift data, fund coding, and financial reporting.

    • Maintain documentation standards for gift records, including attachment of supporting paperwork for gifts at or above established thresholds, in accordance with departmental policy and audit requirements.

  • Provide prospect research support.
    • Provide basic prospect research in support of donor briefings, cultivation activities, and solicitation preparation, drawing on Raiser's Edge data, wealth screening tools, and web-based research resources.

    • Over time, develop capacity to conduct data analysis in support of portfolio management, including identification of prospective donors through database screening, giving history analysis, and wealth data interpretation.
    • Participate in department meetings and contribute to departmental planning as requested.
