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.

When needed, the AMIG assists with prospect research of Circles members, helps the WNO Development team prepare donor profiles or presentations for major gifts solicitations, or provides collegial support to colleagues during deadlines. In addition to the AMIG’s primary focus on the Circles program, the position participates in WNO Major Gifts meetings and Kennedy Center-wide Development meetings, contributing to the broad strategic thinking of contributed income projections for the Opera and supporting WNO and Kennedy Center colleagues as needed to achieve shared goals. As part of the WNO Development team, the AMIG participates in the planning of WNO’s annual gala and is assigned duties prior to and during the event. These duties may include assisting with the development of lists, invitations, drafting guest profiles, and other duties as needed. The Officer also suggests, oversees, or supports cultivation events throughout the year designed to engage new prospects, encourage increased commitments, and enrich donor involvement.
