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 DakotaI have the experience.I’m here to work for you – AmyNonprofit Philanthropy & Fundraiser Management | Annual Giving | AMPONow.com
