In 2014, James moved to the University of Cincinnati Foundation where he serves as the Executive Director of Annual Giving and Marketing, working with both the university and its academic healthcare system. In this role he is responsible for a complex fundraising strategy targeting gifts under $25,000 as part of the comprehensive Next, Now campaign.
