Development Staff
The Development Office is responsible for the private-sector fundraising effort for West Point and the Association of Graduates. WPAOG must seek private funding for additional developmental programs that go beyond the Academy’s core elements to educate and train a second lieutenant for the U.S. Army. These programs represent the Margin of Excellence that allows the Academy to remain competitive in attracting high-quality cadet candidates and enable cadets to achieve their highest potential. The solicitation of these gifts is the primary responsibility of the Development Office as government employees are prohibited by law from soliciting gifts. The Development Office helps match a donor’s philanthropic interest with the needs of the Academy. The department is currently executing a seven-year $350 million campaign to benefit the Academy’s Margin of Excellence programs and WPAOG graduate services.
Visit our “Giving FAQs” page for more information.
The department has 43 professional and support staff members and is made up of two operating units: Revenue Support and Revenue Generation. Revenue Support consists of Advancement Services (collecting and maintaining data to facilitate outreach, while protecting the privacy of our constituents) and Development Engagement (thanking and stewarding donors and through publications, reports and events). Revenue Generation reflects the vehicles through which donors can support West Point: Class Giving, Annual Giving, Corporate & Foundation Relations, Major Giving, and Planned Giving.
