About Amber Hobson

I never set out to work in fundraising; I stumbled into it. But what kept me here, decades later, is the feeling of knowing that every campaign, every donor relationship, and every strategy session helps do good in the world.Today, I serve as Vice President of Client Success, bringing together my experiences from both the nonprofit side and the agency side. That dual perspective has been invaluable. I know what it feels like to be inside an organization balancing urgent donor and revenue needs with tight budgets, and I also know how to help teams see the bigger picture and launch campaigns that inspire giving.Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of leading teams and campaigns that have generated millions of dollars in revenue, fueling missions across conservation, healthcare, animal welfare, human services, and the arts. What I’m most proud of, though, isn’t just the numbers - it’s being a people-first leader (or giving it my best attempt!). Helping colleagues and clients thrive, feel supported, and grow in their own careers is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.For me, success isn’t just measured in dollars raised; it’s in stronger organizations, deeper donor trust, and the impact we can create together.I love connecting with people who share that vision. If you’re working to grow your mission, strengthen donor relationships, or just swap ideas on what’s working (and what isn’t) in fundraising, I’d be glad to connect.
