The University of Kentucky (UK) College of Agriculture, Food and Environment has added Danielle Jostes to its stable of equine-focused professionals. Jostes came on board in March as equine philanthropy director, a role that will capitalize on both her track record of fundraising in a university setting and her passion for equine and agriculture.

“To me, this position was the perfect combination of my profession and passion,” Jostes said. “I believe philanthropy has the ability to make such a meaningful impact, and as a horse owner and enthusiast, I am thrilled to join a great university located in the horse capital of the world. Lexington’s dominance of the equine industry and UK’s equine focus make this a perfect opportunity to grow and continue the long-standing tradition of excellence in equine.”

Pamela Gray, senior director of philanthropy within the college, added, “I am so pleased to have someone of Danielle’s passion and experience join the philanthropy team in the college. She will be vital to attaining our goals to build the premier equine program for research and education in the world.”

Jostes grew upon a Quarter Horse farm in Central Illinois, where her family continues to raise horses and farm hay. She comes to UK from the University of Louisville, in Kentucky, where she served as assistant director of development and managed the School of Medicine’s Department of Ophthalmology and the Cardiovascular Innovation Institute’s philanthropy efforts. Before that, she was operations manager for the Clark Memorial Hospital Foundation in Jeffersonville, Indiana, and worked for the American Cancer Society, in Louisville
