Fundraising is at the heart of every thriving nonprofit. Whether you're preparing for a capital campaign, trying to deepen donor relationships, or just need fresh momentum, getting the right support can make all the difference. But with so many consultants and firms offering help, how do you choose the right one? If you’re looking for a fundraising consultant who does more than offer advice, someone who rolls up their sleeves and becomes a true partner in your mission, you’re in the right place. Here’s what to look for in a great fundraising consultant, and why AmPhil continues to be the go-to choice for values-driven nonprofits across the country.
You Need More Than a Plan. You Need a Partner.
Many consultants will hand you a beautiful fundraising strategy and walk away. At AmPhil, we believe that plan is just the beginning.
We work alongside your team to bring your strategy to life, offering training, coaching, and real-time support to help you stay on track and grow stronger over time. Whether you're launching a capital campaign or refining your major gifts program, our hands-on approach means you're never going it alone.
“We don’t just make recommendations, we help implement them.”
Values Should Guide the Work
Your nonprofit doesn’t exist to chase trends. You have a mission that matters. We believe fundraising should be rooted in relationship-building, trust, and integrity, not gimmicks or shortcuts.
That’s why we specialize in working with mission-driven organizations, especially those in education, faith, civic life, and culture, that want their fundraising to reflect their values.
“We meet you where you are and help build a strategy that reflects who you are.”
Donor Communication is Key
Great fundraising requires more than just asking, it also requires great communicating with clarity and conviction. That’s why our team includes experienced writers and strategists who help you craft the right message for every audience, whether that’s through donor letters, newsletters, or campaign collateral.
We help tell your story in a way that inspires action.
Your Board and Team Deserve to Be Equipped
We don't just work with leadership, we work to equip your entire team, from board members to development staff. That means offering training, guidance, and support that builds confidence and capacity across the board (literally).
Whether it's a half-day board training or ongoing coaching for major gift officers, we help create a team that’s aligned and energized.
Fundraising Should Strengthen the Whole Organization
Fundraising isn’t a silo. It touches your leadership, operations, culture, and long-term goals. That’s why AmPhil takes a holistic approach, through organizational health assessments, strategic planning, and long-term development counsel, designed to help your nonprofit thrive for the long haul.
Why Nonprofits Choose AmPhil
If your organization is serious about growth, clarity, and long-term impact, AmPhil brings the right mix of strategy, execution, and values alignment.
We’re proud to work with hundreds of mission-driven nonprofits who are doing meaningful work across the country. If you need help getting started, preparing for a major campaign, or navigating a season of change, we’re here to walk with you.
