Steven Donohue was promoted to Associate Athletic Director, Development in March 2025.
In this role, Donohue will lead the department's fundraising efforts as part of the $600 million academy-wide West Point Ready Campaign, including the Michie Stadium Preservation Project, the Army A Club annual fund, and restricted sport-specific philanthropy. Donohue will serve as a member of the Athletics Director's Executive Staff and the WPAOG's Development Senior Staff.
"Steven has led a resurgence in our fundraising efforts these past few years and has a proven track record in the industry," said Director of Athletics Tom Theodorakis. "His leadership in this role will be critical as we continue providing the best resources for our cadet-athletes."
Donohue is entering his 12th year in college athletics administration, rejoining Army West Point Athletics in March 2022 as the Assistant Athletics Director, Major Gifts. In 2024, the team raised over $16 million: more than $9 million to the Army A Club and $5 million to Sport Specific Giving - both record highs. Prior to his return to West Point, he served as Assistant Athletics Director, Development at Northern Illinois University. At NIU, Donohue oversaw the Huskie Athletic Fund and led fundraising efforts for the 2021 Mid-American Conference (MAC) Champion Huskies football program. Prior to his time at NIU, Donohue served as the Assistant Director of Development & Premium Seating at Purdue University. During his time in the Big Ten Conference, he oversaw premium seating for football, men's and women's basketball, baseball, and softball. Donohue also helped develop a comprehensive premium seating strategy for the Ross-Ade Stadium Project. Before Purdue, Donohue was a part of the Army West Point Athletics Department, serving in various revenue-generating roles with the Army A Club and Army Ticket Office. Donohue got his start in the industry working for the New York Jets and the New York City Marathon.
Donohue graduated from the State University of New York at Cortland in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in sport management. He resides in Goshen, NY, with his wife, Laurie, and their twins, Ella and Jack.
