Liam McAlpine

“I first learned about Plus Delta Partners in 2012 when my employer invested in the Discipline of Frontline Fundraising training for its major gifts staff. It was an invaluable experience, and I have built my career alongside Plus Delta’s core principles of strategic, disciplined, and thoughtful conversations about philanthropy and impact. I am thrilled to be a part of the team, coaching talented fundraising professionals toward greater results.”

Liam brings to Plus Delta Partners more than 15 years of experience in higher education philanthropy. Most recently, he served as Assistant Vice President for Advancement at Swarthmore College, where he managed the principal gifts program and oversaw the Donor Relations, Gift Planning, and Individual Giving teams. Prior to that role, he served as Interim Vice President for Advancement, bringing thoughtful management and a spirit of innovation and growth to the division during a time of significant change.

Liam led the Individual Giving office at Swarthmore from 2017-2020, during which he and his team collectively raised over $85 million in major, planned, and leadership annual gifts. Earlier, he served as an Associate Director and then Senior Associate Director of Individual Giving at the College. He began his fundraising career at Yale University, where he held several roles on the major gifts team during the $3.8 billion Yale Tomorrow campaign.

Liam graduated with honors from Wesleyan University with a B.A. in English. He currently resides in Philadelphia.
