Nonprofit executives and fundraisers come to us when: They are frustrated with poor fundraising results. They’re missing opportunities because current systems and staff can’t keep up with programmatic or fundraising success.
6 They’re fed up with the stale mail/ packages and middling results of uncooperative direct mail vendors. Growth is stalling because they aren’t securing meetings or big gifts from major donors. Current systems and staff are stretched thin—they’re drowning in advice and need a partner to execute in a hard to hire area. They want to build competence and capacity but don’t want to risk an expensive senior hire who will leave in six months, or, worse, underperform and stay. They want to launch a transformational campaign but also maintain annual fundraising without tripling staff and stress.
8 AmPhil does not use a cookie cutter approach. They build their fundraising around the culture, the strengths and the limitations of the organization. They don’t do this with one person, but with the entire AmPhil team that can support the client— from research, direct mail, design, writing, strategy and/or training."

he deepest motivations for humans to act—and to give—are identity and belonging: the need to know and affirm who we are, and the need to belong to something bigger than ourselves. No matter the technique, mission, or medium, fundraisers will make their deepest connections with donors and unlock the greatest success by satisfying these deep human needs.

Americans of all ages, all conditions, and all dispositions constantly form associations. They have not only commercial and manufacturing associations, in which all partake, but associations of a thousand other kinds— religious, moral, serious, futile, general or restricted, enormous or diminutive. Wherever at the head of some new undertaking you see the government of France, or a man of rank in England, in the United States you will be sure to find an association."
