advising

I help nonprofit executives do more.

Hi, I’m Andie (short for Amanda)! Leaders at nonprofits and philanthropy infrastructure organizations bring me in when they need a senior thought AND DOING partner who’s grounded in social and racial justice.

I can be your consigliere on the stuff that keeps you up at 2am: membership, fundraising, board work, strategy, culture, and more.

“Thanks for inspiring and teaching me how to more fully step in and step up.”

I can help you see around corners, because I’ve probably been to most of those corners before in my 25+ years of raising over $100 million in this sector.

I can be the extra capacity you wish you had in your day — so you and your org get more done, better.

The best part is, you don’t need to hire a full time C-suite role to get the value of that level of experience, because I work fractionally.

“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.”
