As part of the acknowledgement process, serve as liaison between the WNO Major Gifts team and WNO leadership to ensure thank-you letters are drafted, signed, and sent to major donors from appropriate company leadership on a timely basis. Work with Gift Officers to implement and refresh acknowledgment strategies for various individuals and audiences. Create and maintain the WNO stewardship calendar of donor engagement activities, delivery of benefits, and deadlines for print and digital recognition. Liaise with WNO Gift Officers to ensure donor recognition information and list-pulls are accurate. Review the Kennedy Center project management software (RoboHead) on a daily basis to ensure donor listings and recognition in print materials and on all Center-wide digital platforms are correct. Create and manage the donor communications calendar and MOVES across giving levels, looking for opportunities to leverage content across audiences. This includes coordination and execution of an annual impact report with WNO’s General Director.

These duties may include assisting with the development of lists, invitations, drafting guest profiles, and other coordinating duties as needed. If requested, assist WNO Gift Officers or WNO leadership in the preparation of solicitation materials or Board presentations. Assist with compiling donor data and stories to be shared across platforms. Coordinate gestures of gratitude for major WNO donors and sponsors, such as signed production posters or programs, artist meet-and-greet opportunities, flowers for special occasions or special recognition, etc. Under the guidance of the Director of Individual Giving, reconcile WNO Development department expenses with the Kennedy Center Finance department on a monthly basis. Other duties as assigned. Key Qualifications Bachelor’s degree Minimum 3 years experience in donor stewardship, development, fundraising, or related field.
