My mission is to help nonprofit leaders generate consistent funding for long-term impact and sustainability.
Struggling to figure out how to raise the revenue needed to fund your organization?
30-year Nonprofit Veteran
As a Philanthrepreneur, I’ve fused the heart and passion of philanthropy with the best business practices I’ve acquired over the past three decades to help nonprofit leaders raise over $10 million in funding to support their mission and make an impact in their communities.
Having done everything in the nonprofit sector from emptying trashcans, running a nonprofit, to writing grants, serving on nonprofit boards, to giving out over $7 million in grants, I know first-hand the struggles you’re facing every day trying to keep your doors open and meet the needs of your community. I leverage my proven Nonprofit Success Path, to help you streamline processes, cut through the overwhelm and get tangible results.
“We literally went from shutting down our organization to securing over $900,000 in grants, $180,000 in individual donations, and $60,000 in employee matching in under a year following Amber’s nonprofit success path. Talk about a complete gamechanger!“

“I believe that…..”
Every nonprofit should be profitable. Because a nonprofit is a business. It’s just a business with a philanthropic purpose. Every business has expenses.
Nonprofit leaders are the most amazing human beings on the planet and need support and encouragement.
The key to a successful nonprofit is long-term, consistent funding. And that it shouldn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how to fund your organization.
Executive Directors should receive a salary that is competitive with for-profit salaries because they do just as much, if not more, work as their counterparts and the work they do transforms communities.
Self-funding a nonprofit takes away from the Founder/Executive Director’s quality of life. Being a leader shouldn’t mean that you struggle, sacrifice, and live a lesser quality of life because you care about your community.
