Hi, I’m Andie (short for Amanda)! I’m a senior advisor to nonprofit and philanthropy leaders on fund and organizational development grounded in racial and social justice.
Especially for emerging organizations that may not be ready to hire a C-suite professional with my 25 years of experience raising nearly $100 million, I’m here to be your thought partner on fundraising, communications, organizational strategy and culture, and board development — all through a lens of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.
“Thanks for inspiring and teaching me how to more fully step in and step up.”
As your Senior Advisor, I’ll help you meet the opportunities and challenges you’re facing, broaden your perspective, and grow your organization. We’ll work together in a warm, confidential, non-judgmental space.
“You’re such a catalytic thinker for me.”
My expertise includes issues like these:
- Sharpen your strategy to advance your mission and vision
- Grow your fundraising results
- Navigate board relationships and board development
- Express your leadership voice and your organization’s work compellingly in your communications
- Mentor your emerging staff leaders for professional development and retention
- Build an organizational culture that is authentically caring, effective, and moving towards anti-racism
“The way you are able to connect with people and model humility and vulnerability as a leader is admirable.”
I work with clients nationwide. Please check out my résumé, results, and references and feel free to contact me at andiebyrdadvising@gmail.com for a personal conversation. I’d love to learn about what’s ahead for you and explore how I could potentially be a resource!
“Thank you for your many contributions to help inform, shape and lead [organization] on its journey.”
