The AMIG is charged with the retention, stewardship, and ongoing management of WNO’s Circles membership (donors who annually give between $1,800-$24,999), and the identification, cultivation, and acquisition of prospective Circles-level contributors. Donations from Circles patrons are a cornerstone of WNO’s annual contributed income goals, and the AMIG plays a crucial role in sustaining and growing this important base of support.  As a member of the Major Gifts team, the AMIG also plays a vital role in helping identify Circles members with Major Gifts-level capacity (contributions above $25,000), and through stewardship, cultivation, and collaboration with WNO’s DMG, Major Gifts Officers, WNO’s Managing Director of Advancement, and WNO’s Director of Individual Giving and Operations helps migrate such patrons into Major Gifts’ portfolios.
