About Our Team

  • Founder & CEO

    Scott Jacobson is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Fuse Advancement. Prior to Fuse Advancement, Scott worked at the University of Southern California over a span of 15 years. While there, he quickly gained a reputation for his ability to innovate — he skillfully connected, inspired, and rallied his colleagues and individuals within the USC Alumni Community to great heights. His work culminated in numerous awards and accomplishments:

    2016 Volunteer Friend of the Year Award — a USC Alumni Association award given to the top USC staff member working with Alumni, Parents and Friends of the university.

    Established and led “Athenian Society for the Price School of Public Policy” - a premier giving fund for the School and Trojan Athletic Fund, which raises approximately $21 million dollars a year to support the 650 student athletes.

    Co-led the 315$ Million Renovation and Fundraising Plan of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum

    Visioned the 1923 Club at the LA Memorial Coliseum - The first of its kind: stadium membership only, social rooftop club, with expansive 360 views of Los Angeles. The now sold-out club, with a wait-list and annual revenue of over $650,000, would have otherwise been left as a regular seating area.

    Through his deep experience in fundraising and development — spanning higher education, collegiate sports, airports, nonprofits and businesses — Scott aids organizations by creating new lines of revenue streams. His propensity for development enables him to make meaningful, lasting, and impactful connections across many fields leading to original fundraising solutions and innovative gains that increase the bottom line across all sectors.
