WORK HISTORY
Business Owner @Ampo, Llc
US
As the Owner and founder of AMPO, LLC. I oversee all the operations of services, tools, and products offered to non-profits. My career in non-profits showed me the unfair advantage that large institutions have over small ones. This inspired my mission to bring equality to smaller organizations by helping them: • Raise more donations by managing donors through the cycle of cultivation • Lower materials costs of fundraising appeal including designing, printing, and mailing • Facilitate annual appeals through a web-based ordering system Early in my career, I was an executive director without a lot of support or money to implement fundraising plans, I remember thinking, “There has to be a better way”. Then I went on in my career to have a seat at the leadership table of a nationwide healthcare foundation raising millions of dollars with access to tremendous fundraising tools. And I experienced a better way. AMPO is bringing the resources that big nonprofits rely on to raise millions and millions of dollars a year to you. It is the solution that you have been looking for. I’m here to level the playing field. It’s time for every organization to have access to sophisticated fundraising tools, not just the ones raising multiple millions of dollars per year. I have a CFRE (Certified Fundraising Executive) and an MPA (Masters in Public Administration plus I spent 7 years teaching undergraduates and graduate level students about philanthropy as an adjunct professor at my alma mater the University of South Dakota I have the experience.

ABOUT AMY POKELA
Amy Pokela here, I’m on a mission to help non-profit organizations focused on mission-based work providing opportunities for communities and those less fortunate. I have spent my career in non-profit organizations large & small and one thing is very clear. Smaller non-profit charities are burdened because of: • Lack of resources to fundraise • High materials costs due to lower volumes • Lack of access to resources to effectively manage fundraising programs AMPO is committed to providing solutions in these areas and more so your organization can: • Raise more donations • Lower materials cost • And take the burden of annual fund management away so you can focus on what’s important. AMPO helps you manage your donors through the cycle of cultivation: Identify, Inform, Ask, and Steward. You’ll have time back for your mission and raise more money for your cause. The first step is your annual appeal. The AMPO web-based ordering system creates a strategic communication piece for your donors. You don’t have to worry about designing, printing, and mailing the appeal- AMPO has you covered… and this is only the beginning. Stay tuned to learn about additional products and programs to elevate your fundraising. All of this exists for you. To help you raise more money for the mission of your organization. I remember being an executive director without a lot of support or money to implement fundraising plans. I remember sitting in my office chair and thinking, “There has to be a better way”. Then I went on in my career to have a seat at the leadership table of a nationwide non-profit raising millions of dollars with access to tremendous tools to help with fundraising. And I knew there was a better way. I have had the opportunity to serve in leadership roles in organizations with fewer than 5 people and in large foundations with locations in 24 states. AMPO is the solution to bringing the resources that big nonprofits rely on to raise millions and millions of dollars a year to you. It is the solution that you have been looking for. It’s time to level the playing field. It’s time for every organization to have access to sophisticated fundraising tools, not just the ones raising multiple millions of dollars per year. Here you will be able to outsource fundraising tasks so that you can get back to working on the mission of your organization.
