Through meetings, visits, phone calls, written communications, assistance at performances, and individualized concierge services, the AMIG is able to directly engage Circles members and develop trusted philanthropic relationships. Along with the entire WNO Development team, the AMIG is tasked with helping the Opera achieve its annual fundraising and special campaign goals through the cultivation and management of its Circles membership, and by participating in the development and implementation of the department’s strategic planning, campaigns, new initiatives as they arise, WNO’s annual gala, and donor/prospect cultivation events throughout the year.

The AMIG maintains a cyclical calendar for renewals and acquisitions, coordinating a multi-staged annual campaign that includes various forms of communications and engagement—letters, emails, phone calls, meetings, visits, curated opportunities to learn more about opera and WNO productions, socialization at performances, invitations to cultivation events. The AMIG is responsible for: creating or overseeing the creation of WNO Circles communications materials for renewals; documenting pledges and payments; drafting acknowledgement letters for WNO Circles donations; and, with colleagues, identifying and acquiring new members. The AMIG is expected to think strategically about such engagement, involving WNO leadership or Board members, when appropriate, in solicitations or gift acknowledgements to encourage donors’ enhanced involvement. The position must maintain clear, informative call reports, donor records, pledge payment schedules, gift histories, and strategic moves within the CRM system and through other appropriate means to ensure consistent stewardship, fulfillment of donor benefits, accurate recognition, and long-term engagement of this group of patrons.
