Douglas J. Hamilton

Director, Membership, New York City Ballet

As Membership Director, Douglas manages a personal portfolio of more than 300 patrons of New York City Ballet while leading a dedicated team of staffers for the Company’s Circle of Friends membership program and its national telefunding campaign. Douglas joined the New York City Ballet family full-time in 2011 as Manager of Member Services following many seasons of work with NYCB’s Marketing and Development departments’ annual in-house campaigns. His holistic approach to relationship-based fundraising is rooted in his experience and understanding of NYCB’s customer base of individuals who are donors as well as ticket buyers. This has added depth and focus to his service of donors’ needs and successful cultivation of their personal and philanthropic commitments to the Company.

Mr. Hamilton’s experience in the for-profit world included the positions of Senior Associate at Stanton Management, a private management company for classical music ensembles, soloists, and composers, and Assistant to award-winning director Gene Saks for several successful Broadway productions and National Tours. Mr. Hamilton is a graduate of North Carolina School of the Arts.
